• haha no.. i do get signals from acquintences that cph is a great city to work and live in. though a bit on the small and boring side..
    i guess when i get older i will give that city a ponder. for now berlin does the job quite well..;)

  • Whats the job market like in Berlin for architects at the minute? And is it possible to get a job without being able to speak German?

  • dunno, not really looking.
    the adagium stays true though; a city full of young creatives makes for quite a bunch of competition.

    baunetz has a newsletter they send around every morning with openings. generally with 3y> experience and in construction planning, but maybe that floats your boat. german is generally a condition though.

    with regard to getting a job in the more creative phases i.e. competitions/HOAI 1-3 its either contacts or "initiativbewerbung", open application.

    with regard to the language; its quite a big plus, but there are enough offices where the spaniards, greek and portuguese are exploited in competition sweatshops and they generally don't speak german. i.e. you generally get not so ok conditions.

    there are a couple of offices which are big and do international projects; gmp, dudler, barkow leibinger, etc. an american guy i know got a job at the latter recently and his german is minging.

    i have a list somewhere of offices for you to check out if you want to.
    in my office generally either german or french is needed, although we had a couple of guys who didnt speak either of the languages.
    alas, we're not hiring. pm me if you want (to pass) some deets, and if a suitable spot becomes available i could give you a nudge.

    You want to learn German, anyway, it's great. (But you'd expect me to say that. :) )
