Computational Design & LCA intern

We are looking for a Computational Design & LCA intern for our Sustainability and Computational Design division

Henning Larsen is an international design studio with strong Nordic roots, where curiosity and Design with Knowledge are our main principles. Are you a student interested in joining our mission to create more sustainable built environments and explore contemporary technologies? For the spring semester we are looking for a candidate who can combine skills in Computational Design with Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) to support our holistic approach to sustainability.

As our new intern you will be part of a dynamic and multidisciplinary group of architects, engineers, PhDs, computational designers, and sustainability experts working on shaping experiences of human interaction through advanced digital methodologies and environmental analysis. Our ambition is to pioneer sustainable change through our work—our projects aim not just for best practice, but next practice.

About the internship
Joining our Copenhagen office, you will be part of a company working with international projects of all scales and sizes. We offer intern positions for 6–12 months, with the opportunity for extension. The candidates must be students during the time of the internship. The goal is for you to develop competencies across both computational design and LCA, and to be able to work independently with site analysis, material assessments, and design optimization.
Start date: February 2026. The internship is paid.

What are we looking for?
For the spring semester, we are looking for interns with a passion for developing tools, methodologies, and solutions for a more sustainable holistic design. The ideal candidate has an architectural or engineering background and has advanced analytical, communicational, and graphic skills. While we don’t expect expertise in every area, enthusiasm for learning and contributing in both computational and LCA domains is key.

You may contribute within the following focus areas:

• Microclimate and simulations: Familiarity with CFD, daylight and/or UTCI simulations is a plus.
• Computational/generative design and data analysis: Interest in scripting and digital tools to optimize design processes. Familiarity with Python, C#, Grasshopper and/or game engines is a plus.
• Circular economy and decarbonization: Work with tools and methodologies to inform material selection and design scenarios, integrating LCA calculations to evaluate environmental impacts of buildings and components. Knowledge of tools such as LCAbyg or One Click LCA is highly welcome.
• Material knowledge exploration: Support research and dialogue with manufacturers, EPD data collection, and sustainable material assessments.
• Early-stage assessments and reporting: Structure inputs and quantify design solutions; support the team in gathering and organizing sustainability data, and communicating results effectively to our design teams and clients.
• BIM workflows: Familiarity with Revit and Dynamo for automation and data management is a plus.

Skills & qualifications

• Rhino and Grasshopper skills are essential.
• Proficiency in English (spoken and written).
• Knowledge of Revit, sustainable building design, and/or Danish is a plus.
• Strong motivation to learn, curiosity, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic and energetic work environment.

How do you apply?
Submit your application, portfolio/sample of works (max 10 MB), and CV before 19 October 2025. Please note that interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.
