Today Dover, Kohl & Partners reaches 36!
Thank you to all our clients, patrons, fans, and current and past associates for your patronage and efforts.
Thank you to our 2021 interns for their incredible work and flexibility over the last year. While we all wished to be physically in the Coral Gables studio the full length of the internship, you managed to produce high-quality, professional-grade work virtually and geographically distanced. To say we’re impressed would be an understatement.
We at Dover, Kohl & Partners answered the challenge of hosting interns amidst a pandemic by organizing a series of virtual trainings and educational sessions. We also provided hands-on experience with real-world clients. For those that were able to join us physically toward summer’s end, DK&P led walking tours throughout South Florida where we analyzed historic neighborhood designs, critiqued an ongoing rails-to-trails project, and imagined a brighter future for the Commodore Trail.
Now, we’re accepting applications for 2022. Each year, we welcome a limited number of student interns into our interdisciplinary studio to join in on the work of making better cities and towns. Coming from varied hometowns and academic backgrounds—and from numerous fields of study related to urbanism—our interns tackle challenging real-world design, development, research, public outreach and communications tasks. Interns do creative work, sit in on client meetings, and help run designing-in-public events right alongside our fulltime staff. It's not unpaid work; our interns earn a modest beginner salary while getting firsthand experience with a dynamic, fast-paced wing of the planning and urban design professions. Many of our fulltime staff members first began working at DK&P as student interns.
