Job Description

Summer 2026 Landscape Architecture Internship

About RIOS

RIOS is an international design collective actively in pursuit of wonder within the design of the built environment. We believe design is an act of optimism through which invention and ideas change the world. We practice interconnected design across architecture, placemaking, and landscape architecture, defining design as a continuum.

Our process begins with attunement, where program and context shape strong conceptual thinking to establish a holistically informed big idea. From this foundation, we develop form, confirm function, and define experience, which serves as the basis for exploring ecology, material, and tectonic expression. RIOS is renowned for our bold solutions that are inclusive of the wider context, ever mindful that an interdisciplinary approach to design brings about inclusive, resilient, and original solutions, ensuring diversity and resilience.
