I have been reading and going this forum about short term work experience (4-6 weeks in Tokyo). I am a Healthcare Facility Planner from Sydney, Australia. I would like to gain 4-6 weeks work experience in an English speaking architecture firm (in Tokyo or Osaka) that has a lot of hospital/ other healthcare facilities design and planning projects. I am not a typical intern whom the firms would normally accept.
I have a strong interest in Japanese architecture, healthcare, hospital design and just want to gain the working experience in Japan.
Other than Junya .ishigami + associates, SANAA, Sou Fujimoto and Nikken Sekkei, could you please recommend other firms that I can apply. Thank you very much in advance.
Kind Regards
Su

whatever you do, do not take an unpaid intership.

That's quite the specific wish list, maybe the blog by Will Gal(l?)oway here could help you. I don't think anyone would bother with all the paperwork and what have you for just a month and a half when it would normally take that time to get settled, comfortable and just an understanding of the firm, your colleagues and the project(s) you're working on and off you go again...

Thanks for your advice and comments. I appreciate it. I agree - 6 weeks is too short.
But I cannot take leaves more than 6 weeks. Oh well, I will see what I can do. Thanks again. I have checked out Will Gal posts.
Cheers
