Unpaid architecture interns in Japan are exploited by their employers, according to humanitarian architecture pioneer Cameron Sinclair.
Sinclair made the comment in response to a tweet from Dezeen that quoted an article about unpaid internships in Japan.
Intern culture "rewards wealthy, privileged designers"Sinclair replied: "'Voluntary work' is radically different than unpaid internships (aka digital slavery)," he tweeted.
"I've met many young designers in Japan and they are used and abused by firms."
New York designer Karim Rashid also defended the use of unpaid interns earlier this year.
