Hello I am a undergrad architecture major, I have come across a puzzling question (for me at least) about a Architecture Portfolio. My question pertains to the drawing in the folder. Are the drawings or work etc. from assignments or are they drawing an architect has done on their free time etc.
Please no smart remarks. Serious answers only
Thank you

All of the above. Any work that is pertinent to the job for which you are applying is eligible to be included.

An architecture portfolio is a assembly of your work done either through school assignments, past/current employment or personal exploration. You just need to label them as such and when necessary, provide further commentary if for example, certain projects were done within a group setting or for construction purposes.
There are plenty of examples (good and bad) in the forums of portfolios.

Is this an academic portfolio or for job searching? A portfolio should demonstrate your'e capabilities. This can be from school or personal projects. Depending on what you're using it for, you may have to tailor it to that specific needs.
From my experience, school portfolios tends to be more process heavy. For job searching it's more about the finished product and what you can offer the firm in terms of skills.
