The font and format kind of reminds me of the sample GSAPP portfolio archinect put up. It's super nice though. I'm a big fan of the oil paintings, The artwork is off the chain.

well-

There is a LOT going on in this portfolio and every page is saturated. The problem is that there isn't a very clear hierarchy so each page just becomes wallpaper and it's hard to dig deeper into the content. Also each page has similar amounts and scales of content which also makes it read like wallpaper. I would work on developing a pretty clear grid system to organize content, develop a hierarchy (esp. with type), and think about how you can diversify the spreads- make a rendering take up 1-2 pages, limit/delete unnecessary graphics, vary scales of content based on importance to the project, have just one image on a page or just text, etc.

Think about this less as a portfolio and more like a brochure that is selling you to the school. Look at how brochures are designed with a pace and rhythm.

Also you might want to rethink the small, medium, large labeling system on interventions. It would be impossible for someone on the review board not to immediately think of Koolhaas.

i agree with :__::- I would put more time into a few of the collages too. Great process and models though!

from my 2 minute skim through - looks cool, except

- very crowded ... space it out a little more
- anatomical model #1 on page 39 is not done well

overall, though, well done

My quick points in addition to those already mentioned:

On some of the spreads, the graphic design is over-powering the architectural design. ie. Huge text, unnecessarily large site aerial and diagram, then small render and model-shot. Which is a shame, because your work (models+render), is much stronger than your graphic design.
Also echo that your oil paintings are nice. Did you do any work in oil directly related to your studio projects? I'm always a big fan of seeing a variety of media and skillsets incorporated into each project, rather than a section at the end of the portfolio for drawings, photography, painting, etc. Some of the most impressive work I've seen combines painting, 3D renderings, cad line drawings, photocollage, and hand drawing into a single image.

looks good, dont realy have anything more to add than what its has been said already.

by the way what font(s) are you using?

These are great comments. Very helpful.

I considered using a grid throughout but I concieved each project as a distinct visual assemblage and so opted against it.

IamGray: I totally agree with the mixed-media rendering technique...It makes drawings so much richer. I've looked at LTL's work as well as Paul Lukes....great visuals.

there is a sample gsapp portfolio that archinect put up? where?
