Built Work in Portfolios
Why doesn't anyone show built work in their M.Arch portfolio? I am looking at the others posted here for inspiration and all of the projects are academic schematic types. Is there a reason people don't show built work? I am planning on showing some built projects in mine, but is there something I am missing?
most m.arch students don't have built work?
Ah, maybe I am older than most at 29.
You mean models?
Unless it's a design build, or some personal built project (furniture comes to mind) I dont think most students will have completed work to showcase.
hey lagger,
you're not alone, i'll also be showcasing a couple of built projects in my school application portfolio.
My portfolio consists only of built projects (a cabin, furniture, and blacksmithing work). I'm hoping that these projects stand out amongst other applicants. However, I don't know if there is a popular opinion on this.
I am not sure how much a built project really would interest an M.Arch program, as they tend to focus more on the design-y side of things. Though if you are refering to projects that you clearly were in complete control of (like the types Drum mentions), then yes i think those actually would help you stand out a lot
My M.Arch class consisted mainly either of those too young to have any real built work that they had a hand in, or those older who were switching over to architecture as a career.
