Corina, Council of the European Union

“As an architect working for a European Institution, I’ve received my fair share of raised eyebrows and confused looks throughout the years.
But in reality, our training as architects gives us excellent skills that are sought after in the EU institutions. I have the chance to be involved in construction and renovation projects of various scales, ranging from small offices, to meeting rooms…and more.
This wide range and sheer scope of works are stimulating and very rewarding. They give any architect the prospects of juggling project management and design, going from purely technical projects such as access speed-gates, to purely creative ones such as custom-made furniture for large conference rooms. All while working within pan-European multicultural teams and in the support of the Council’s mission.“
