Are you interested in studying architecture in the UK? If so, you will likely need to submit a portfolio of work showcasing your creative, technical and professional ability during the application phase.
What to include in your Architecture portfolio
Your architecture portfolio should consist of no more than 30 high quality images, with some sketch work to show how your ideas have developed. Make sure you can show evidence of variations in work, including colour and technique, with the displayed work clearly demonstrating creativity, imagination and technical ability. Some universities will also request written work.
Three of the key elements universities look for include observational skills, artistic thinking and analysis of colour and space.
How to present your Architecture portfolio
In most circumstances you will be expected to upload your architecture portfolio as a digital file in PDF format, but some schools will wish to see your portfolio in person. Ensure the file includes:
- A cover page
- Your main body of work
- Any requested additional documents such as written work or CV
Your portfolio should be considered a creative personal statement as opposed to a written one. Ensure it stands out and will be well on your way to successfully studying an architecture programme in the UK.
