Tenerife Experience
A Life-changing Experience! By Nicole ZhiXin (August 2015)
Half a year ago when I was in my studio in Hong Kong, I had no idea that I would spend my summer in Spain and have one of the best memories of my life. At the time I was in the penultimate year of my undergraduate study. I wanted to have an internship that would provide a brand new vision, expose me to different opportunities and hopefully guide me on future career paths after graduation.… Read the rest
Memories that will never fade away… by Bozo Benic
When the Croatian Chamber of Architects published an offerfor professional training placement in a foreign architectural office, as part of the ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ mobility program, in June, 2013, I had no second thoughts about whether or not I should apply. I knew that internship in a office outside Croatia was an excellent opportunity to maintain continuity in my field of work by participating in innovative projects, exchanging experience and approaches to architecture, networking in international professional circles, learning about new computer programs and tools, improving my foreign language skills, and maybe even learning a new one.… Read the rest

Spending 2 month by Menis Team in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, gave me the chance to improve my skills regarding competition projects. For me it was a great opportunity to see things differently and to understand some basic concepts of our environment.
I am really glad, that during this period I met some admirable people from all around the world, who were creative, hard workers and always ready to help.… Read the rest
In brief: it was great! – Yury Butenko
All the Tenerife experience shifted my life – to its better quality.
To be honest, I was in a deep despair while compiling my portfolio in cold Russian winter…

I was rewarded by destiny when suddenly understood that got invited to Tenerife!

I’ve never spent a long time on such a small piece of land before I decided to get an internship at MENIS Arquitectos thus a few weeks before my departure I subconsciously started to worry.

From Santa Cruz to Santa Cruz – Kunal Chadha
Always was fascinated by the Holy Redeemer Church but never did I expect that I would work for MENIS ARQUITECTOS. I met Fernando in Mumbai at the 361 degree conference where I discussed my areas of interests, got an immediate response from him and I joined in, a month later. The studio works around the eccentric Fernando Menis and his enthusiasm and a treasure of ideas.… Read the rest
Tenerife, una experiencia inolvidable – Violaine Neau
Mis practicas en Tenerife fueron mi primer viaje en otro país, por eso estaba un poco inquieta y perdida. Además cuando empecé el trabajo, tenía miedo de no cumplir con éxito las tareas pedidas. Pero en Menis Arquitectos saben darte confianza y sobretodo mostrar que confían en ti.
He descubierto una otra manera de trabajar, diferente de Francia porque en Menis me dejaban trabajar como quería y proponer ideas.… Read the rest
Internship in the Sun
You never know what to expect by going on your own to a remote, completely new place. Before my “Menis Student Experience” I also had my doubts but now I can say with full responsibility, they were not adequate.
The time I have spent on beautiful Tenerife Island was an amazing and very educating period of my life.… Read the rest

Being a part of a Menis Studio was a wonderful experience for me.
Working with people from all over the world, who speak different languages and belong to different cultures was incredibly interesting. I think that such an experience is very important for a student, because we can see how everything is organized, how ideas evolve into an actual architecture and how it is realized step by step.… Read the rest

It has always been dynamic, well purposed and with great impact on local culture. As soon as I arrived I got a chance to work on exhibition stand for Fernando.… Read the rest
