WHR Architects offer a great opportunity to work and learn about health-care architecture through their year long ‘Tradewell Fellowship’ that generally begins and ends in July and includes employment at WHR Architects in Houston. The application for 2012 is now open. Each year, the Tradewell Fellow is involved with clients in early master planning and design with a particular focus on healing environments and collaborative design methods in health-care related projects.
