Following a call for applications, Inès Ben Yarou, Ana Candale, Mathieu Gaudé, Goumar Assia Goumar, Naa-Larlei Lakai and Nathan Oriou have been selected to take part in a nine-week program set up by Villa Albertine and the Cultural and Educational Service of the French Embassy in the United States, in partnership with Gustave Eiffel University.

This program, supported by Saint-Gobain, offers them the opportunity to enjoy a unique cultural, human and professional experience.

From June 1 to July 31, 2026, the six ENSA Paris-la Villette Master’s students will form tandems with American students from the University of Miami (FL), the University of Michigan (MI), Georgia Tech (GA), Rice University (TX) and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (NC).

Together, they will take part in a week rich in visits, seminars and workshops, followed by a two-month internship with a renowned architecture firm in Paris.
The nine host structures for the 2026 edition are : Christian de Portzamparc, Coldefy, croixmariebourdon architectes associés, Encore Heureux Architectes, enia architectes, Hardel Le Bihan Architectes, Jakob+MacFarlane, Séquano and Herzog & de Meuron.
Students at ENSA Paris-la Villette have the opportunity to have this internship validated as part of their curriculum, which includes a minimum two-month internship in the master’s program.

The program, taught exclusively in English, aims to inspire a new generation of students committed to innovation and change in architecture and urban planning.

Instructors Viviana Comito and Élise Macaire, members of the internship committee, acted as liaison between the Villa Albertine, the architecture agencies and ENSA Paris-la Villette.
