Studio Seilern Architects is looking for a material librarian to join its team in London.

Studio Seilern Architects is an international architectural practice established in 2006 by Christina Seilern with the intent of producing exceptional architecture that lasts, working across geographies, building sizes and typologies. With offices in London and New York our portfolio spans the UK, Europe, North Africa and the Middle east.

Studio Seilern Architects undertakes a diversity of projects; it is our conscious decision to work on both small and large scales as well as simultaneously on new build to restoration works. Irrespective of size or context, each project they undertake informs another.

• manage and operate the 3D printing
• proficient in utilising traditional model-making techniques by hand, as well as being comfortable with modern technologies
• keeping a record and update the book library
