I have gained a lot of knowledge and gotten some great advice in the last few months here in Archinect as I work on my applications to post-professional degrees. I wanted to reach out and ask you for a final critique on my portfolio before I send it off to universities.
These are the universities I am applying to in order of personal preference.
Ryerson University - Master of Building Sience
McGill University - Master of Urban Design and Housing
UT Austin - Master of Science in Sustainable Design
University of Maryland - Master of Sustainable Design
I suggest you place Ascend as your first project. The amount of process and thought you show into developing that project puts your thesis to shame. As it were, I would even say you should delete the word “thesis” from your thesis project because it doesnt show any thought or analysis that people expect out of a thesis project, sorry. By reading your abstract, I expected a lot more out of the project unfortunately. Either lower expectations by rewriting the text or add more process, because the design right now doesnt really represent anything you said.
Thank you! I have a lot more thesis progress work available, so I'll look into adding it. ASCEND is in fact my favorite project so putting it first might be a good idea anyways. Thanks for the feedback!
Critique my MArch Portfolio please

Watch out for typos and grammar too.
