this is amazing and inspiring
looking foward to more videos too
We hope so! Thank you! If you have any questions about putting together a portfolio for architecture school then feel free to use the comments. Happy to help.
Hi I am currently applying for the AA and HKU, and this was probably the only resource on CZcams that stood out to me due to its depth in explaining the details that went in to creating this portfolio. It's amazing! I have a question for myself though. In terms of layout and structure, is it important to choose only four or five of your best works and kind of tell a story with it? Or is it better to add a lot more to show the breadth of experience in exploration of materials and technics?
I would also really love to get my portfolio reviewed before I submit it, hehe. Any chance on this?
Hello! Glad the video was of help! It's best to have a mix of the two. There are two things to remember with your question though. Firstly, the story/narrative/theme is simply a way for you to frame your ideas in a personal way. It's a device to allow you to organize your work and come across concisely and personally. Secondly, speaking of concision, the reason why it's better to include just four or five projects instead of 10 million projects and 20 million images is because when you go for interview you'll only have around 5-10 minutes to present your work, and your interviewer will want their hand to be held through the process. There's not much time at all, and each interviewer will be exhausted from seeing hundreds of portfolios that week. Keep it simple and sophisticated. Show breadth too - you can do both.
If you go to architectureprep.com you'll see a 'Markup' service. Maybe this could be of use to you, if you're tight for time.

Can you make a portfolio without doing projects but have good drawings and art work
Good question - the reason why making portfolios with projects is a good technique is because it lets the reader in on a narrative (both a portfolio-wide narrative and narrative per project) that is ideally highly personal. In that way, the portfolio becomes representative of you personally (which is what admissions want to know about) and it becomes convincing as a progression of thoughts and work. You may be able to do the same without projects, but it may be more difficult. For example, you could group particularly pieces of individual work into categories, or carefully make a series out of individual pieces of work. Since chronology isn't important, this could work. We'd still recommend looking at the work you have any trying to make projects out of them, perhaps retrospectively, so that you have good amounts of development work and visual hierarchy that links to something personal to you.
