Job opening for Computational Designers at FOJAB architects

FOJABcode IS LOOKING FOR NEW TEAM MEMBERS

FOJAB architects is looking for new team members for our computational design group, FOJABcode. Join us in the forming of a group for developing new computational design strategies for the digital construction industry of the future.

FOJAB architects is an award winning architectural practice based in Sweden. We are   150 architects working on a wide range of projects of all scales. As one of the leading architectural practices within the Nordic countries we firmly believe in experimental and playful design research.

The new team roles focus on work in innovative projects to develop digital design strategies for the future. Through design research FOJABcode will establish strategies, concepts and design language for future projects. The team members will have a crucial part in establishing relevant research questions, and developing design identity. Working closely together under the lead of Petra Jenning, FOJABcode will expand the computational design, thinking and acting within FOJAB architects and the architecture profession.

ARCHITECT/COMPUTATIONAL DESIGNER

We are looking for someone who is keen to push the boundaries of what computational design can be in architectural practice. This role will involve: leading design development, supporting a variety of architectural projects with computational expertise, and forming design attitudes towards a computational approach to architecture.

Candidates should be highly motivated and enthusiastic with excellent communication, and analytical skills.

Requirements:

• Experience of independently and collaboratively driving design processes
• Experience of computation/digital design within architecture
• Familiarity and experience with algorithmic and emergent design principles, e.g. multi agent systems
• Excellent Grasshopper skills
• Familiarity with Revit and Dynamo is advantageous
• Qualified architect

COMPUTATIONAL DESIGNER/PROGRAMMER

We are looking for someone who is keen to push the boundaries of what computational design can be in architecture practice. The role includes developing computational strategies, parametric and coded, as well as digital tools. As an essential part of FOJABcode the individual will be responsible for developing computational visions and approaches.

Candidates should be methodological, analytical, and have excellent problem-solving skills. It is important that the candidate understands programming in relationship to space and have a developed three dimensional understanding. We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals with good communication skills.

Requirements:

• Experience of collaborative design processes
• Excellent scripting/coding skills
• Familiarity and experience with algorithmic and emergent design principles, e.g. multi agent systems
• Familiarity with Grasshopper 3D and programming/scripting languages such as Python, C#, and/or Processing (Java)
• Familiarity with Revit and Dynamo is advantageous
• Interest in fabrication and hardware processes is advantageous

To be considered, please send CV, examples of your work and a covering letter with reasons why you would like to join us to Petra Jenning at petra.jenning@fojab.se.
