Your name is missing. 

Better than most and those scissor lifts in the last few pages are cheesy as fuck... I love that.

Not sure why you have a scanned copy of your grades.  Normally formal transcripts are sent separately.  Besides this, where are the dirty napkin sketches and design progress?  Shit does not come out all clean and polished on the first try and one reason of the folio is to show case how you think and solve design problems. 

Would appreciate if anyone can leave me some tips after going through my portfolio please... Thank you! It's really important as I need to improve my amateurish works before my application in like, 8 to 9 months only! :(

Add some muted color to your plans and sections.  

I like the line weights you choose in your plans. I think the phone in page 52 takes away from the model and using a "phone camera" as a frame is way overdone. I don't think you need the blank page at page 53. Don't include your transcript unless specifically asked to do so. I don't like the hands on page 31, even if they were well-drawn, they detract from the image rather than add. Think about adding page numbers. I'm not sure how I feel about the cover-page, it feels unfinished, but that could be a difference in aesthetic preferences, so if you really like, stick with it. I would personally simplify it, get rid of the lines, and make that area a solid light grey, or maybe have the line pattern as the border. I like the bird in the first plan, it plays with scale and proportion and adds a signature without taking away from the technicality of the plan. I also really like the last project. Your font choice is nice. 

Any more comments will be greatly appreciated. Looking to apply to a Master's programme using my Year 1 to Year 3 Semester 1 works. Right now I am showing Year 1 to Year 2 Semester 1 works. :)

Very good graphic! like ur covers

Thank u! :) I would appreciate if I can get more critical comments from people that viewed this thread please :) Thanks a lot!

Not really anything to add hasn't already been said, like your portfolio overall just might need little bit of colour. But it's pretty good overall, yep, and doing it ahead of time is awesome.

One thing would be, do you have portfolio length requirements? Usually only submit shorter portfolios...

First off, you are very clearly graphically gifted, great line weights and compositions of your drawings. However I will say that the added graphics can get a little distracting as I was so intrigued by the scissor lift than the actual building itself, just a note for the future. 

Check the diagram text in the Year 1 Semester 2 project, the formatting and sentence structure need a little work. I often find reading the sentences out loud to myself helps a ton with that for me. 

Also agree with the others and would love to see some progress sketches and lose the transcript. 

Great work though!

Looking for more critical feedback! :) Thank u!

Better than Archlandia's.

That's not a compliment by the way. 

I need more constructive feedbacks please :) Thank u

You graphics are on point. However, the squircle borders are limiting your drawings (kind of tacky). Let some drawings bleed to the edge, others can be simply sit on the page without the need to box it in with the squircle. Also give yourself a system for your font choices - seems like there're some inconsistencies. 

Best of luck.

From what I know, Bartlett and Delft (especially Delft) are very keen on physical models, be it study or presentation. I think they also look for large models that replaces computer rendering. Your drawings are excellent and I’d think complementing them with physical models will really work. Consider 1:50 models for your next studio?

I'm sure your design is great but visually is not striking. Compared to other portfolios I've seen it looks very bland. I would try to add graphic elements that aid the narrative of your design. 

Critical comments appreciated :D

Thank u all for the help! :)

your graphic skills are excellent, and the layout is clear. other than a few minor tweaks already suggested, don't spend time reworking this - it just won't make any difference. you've hit the ceiling on what you can get out of these projects. 

instead, focus your energy in the coming months on doing a really extraordinary studio project. your current works are rational and well presented - no problems with them. But if you want to stand out, do something more ambitious and challenge yourself as a designer or a thinker.

once you do that, you'll probably need to cut out some of what's already in here, because these projects are simple and hopefully the next projects will show a deeper range of design skills.

for where you're at now, this portfolio is as good as it can be. to get to the next level, you should try doing a project that's genuinely surprising.

Thanks everyone. It was very helpful and I really learnt a lot :)

Hi Anais! 

I just got accepted to Delft MSc Architecture track and Bartlett Part 2 (so happy! wuhuuu). I noticed that you are keen on applying for both programs? Happy to answer any questions about applying/tips and tricks! I also have some questions for you with regards to your interest in both schools actually.
