hello fellow archinecters.

 

i have read lots of good portfolio advice on this forum

and now i am seeking some for myself...

 

this still very much a folio in progress plans,

model photos and more drawings needs to be dropped in

 

but thought i'd get some initial thoughts.

feedback much appreciated and welcomed.

 

ps -  i am in 2nd year from an undergrad architectural  degree

thanks!

Nice, I really like your watercolor images and drawings. 

but... 

TOO DAMN LONG.

Is this for work? 30 pages maximum including covers, table of contents, etc. 

Have fun editing :)

Agreed with above. The way it reads now it appears as if there has been no editing and everything has sort of been dropped into pages. 

 

That said, however, if your spend a lot of time editing these projects down to 3-4 pages each (and perhaps even dropping a few of the projects all together) it could be quite stunning. 

 

I would leave all construction details and "technical" sections out....nobody every really cares about these details when flipping through a portfolio. Also, I would try to integrate your project titles into the projects themselves rather than having two white pages and a bit of text.

 

Also, make sure to edit the diagrams and background work so that there are essential diagrams which sum up the entire project, rather than 40 diagrams which explain ideosyncracies of each project. 

 

Since you're a second year undergrad, however, I congratulate you on starting early! What school are u studying at??

thank you guys. this feedback is really great and most helpful.

will def look at reducing / editing

re construction / technical section cuts.

yes this folio is for employment. do you not think that employers would not like to see

the ability to construction document? 

just wondering..

what do you think?
