An architecture portfolio is one of the most important tools an architect and/or architecture student should possess. Presented through the careful selection of drawings, images, text and photographs it represents a timeline and record of experience that demonstrates its creators architectural skills, methods and capabilities.

1. THE ART OF PORTFOLIO MAKING

2. STYLE IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR
ATTITUDE AND YOUR PERSONALITY.

 INFORMabout your background

IMAGES YOU PICK SHOWS
YOUR CONFIDENCE INTO IT !

10. IT HIGHLIGHTS YOUR CHOICES IN DESIGN !

11. SOMETIMES IT SHOULD GO WITH YOUR FUTURE PLANS !
Choose Projects that Work
with the Office's Profile!
Else, it make no sense to
highlight your interior sketches
to a urban planner team.
Or sharing working drawings
for interview at Landscape
Masters of Architecture.

12. LETS SPLIT YOUR PORTFOLIO INTO TWO PARTS !
Work on what they want to see
Work on what you want to show

UTILIZE ONLY YOUR RELATIVE DESIGN SKILLS
It is not compulsory to add photography , sketches, handmade models, non-relatable achievements
everywhere.

13. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST –
UPDATE FREQUENTLY
