Foster + Partners Part 2 Architectural Assistant interview questions

I was approached by a senior associate partner at my university's degree show to interview for a studio 2 position. The interview was about 45 minutes of a nice, light-hearted conversation, going through my best pieces of work and answering things like what projects I was interested in and why I wanted to work there. It took about 3 weeks between getting the contact details of the recruiter and having an arranged interview as the company processes a lot of applications and interviews between their multiple studios.

The interview process begins with a portfolio presentation showcasing design skills, followed by a series of pre-defined questions assessing technical knowledge, creativity, communication, and suitability for the architectural assistant role.
