drafting=working on a set of construction drawings, usually including hundreds of mundane elements such as urinal/toilet details, tile layout, door and window schedules,dimensions, etc. = the type of things you don't want in your portfolio.
don't worry, admissions departments like to see your skill at drawing, sketching, 'markers'(whatever that means), general creativity,etc.
i'd think an architecture school may not want to see too much drafting of construction documents, especially if these are builder house plans. this suggests to a school that you've already gone down a path of technical/vocational training and that you may have missed some foundation in critical and spatial thinking that schools try to introduce early. (my experience is that those who come to the table with a set of ACad house plans already think they know all they need to know, making them MUCH harder to teach.)
on the other hand, i wouldn't shy away from drafting (where drafting = hard-line drawing with tools) altogether. as an instructor, i'd love to see that a student already has a facility with a range of drawing skills. since we seem to have less and less time in school for instruction in drawing, evidence of these skills could put you ahead of the game.
what do you mean by saying that you're 'drawing buildings'. If you're drawing plans of buildings, then no, don't include them. If you are drawing elevations and perspectives, then go ahead, but I'd render them first so that they don't look to technical.
I follow a fora about "the digital architecture" a project the danish state poured millions into, expecting rules and standards all the trouble solved, and computers taking a huge part in it. From the discussions I learned that this "been tried 7 times before" , it's still the same old trouble, even everybody know blocks and attributes , just everything must be tight in the draughting as done before computers as how copied in computer code.
I just think that the more of the actural build works ,that are covered by new structural methods, bringing more of the actural building ,the better. I think that the less blocks and attributes the easier overviewed the better. I think that a new architecture would bring just that. --- Not more rules and more complicated 2D projecting , this never can be ruled out ,but when more of the actural house, are manufactored 3D ,then the standards and rules of tradisional darfting can be solved.
oh thanx.
the drawings are for undergrad transfer portfolio. They are mostly perspective (1,2 points) and a few small elevations. I think i can grasp now what drafting really means.
I use prismacolor markers to render these bishes. thank god I haven't been drafting this whole time.
excuse my ...where can i find the rules to "decode" what per corell just said!
I'm sorry but what's a fora?
and how is "draughting" different from "drafting"? isthe former something to do with beer?
i do no understood what mr.corell speakens in the abovementioned posting. I hope my stupidness is excusing you all!
...and yes..i could'nt help it!
Maybe 'What is Drafting?' should be a multiple choice question on the ARE to help determine minimum competency?
I thought it had something to do with beer.
What is considered Drafting?
gosh! somebody answer
maybe you can give a little more information to help us answer your quesiton, ovejo.
Is this a portfolio for school? undergrad or grad?
are you planning on drawing the buildings with markers freehand?
are you going to be doing sketches or perspectives, or orthagonal drawings (plan, sections, elevations, etc.)?

good luck.
I think by 'markers' he means pantone pens... colour felt tip pens.

what schools DON'T want to see:
cheezy crap like builder box designs, and no fru-fru marker renderings.
show artistic skillful work, regardless of medium, that is OK.

all your build are drawn by us

"I use prismacolor markers to render these bishes." you don't mind if i make a t-shirt with this, do you?
"thank god I haven't been drafting this whole time." is a pretty good shirt too....
***can't stop laughing!!!*** classic!
i want that t-shirt!
hehe go ahead

drafting
NOT drafting
... not drafting take two
but this also requires drafting...
This as well...
drafting sure is a bish. I came thrice while looking at adso's post.
following closely at extremely high rates of speed in order to overcome aerodynamic forces.

I thought it had something to do with beer.
"Can I draw you a beer Norm ?"
"No, I know what they look like. Just pour me one."
it's a little known fact that drafting was invented in ancient mesopotamia as a means of ensuring prompt mail delivery.
i thought NASCAR drafting
