The 8 Basics of a Great Architecture Portfolio<\/h2>\n

1.<\/strong> Keep it to 8-15 pages, under 5MB<\/a><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Open with a summary page listing your role and project stages<\/a><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Put your best and most relevant work first, not chronologically<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Always label whether work is student or professional<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Show your process: plans, sections, sketches, models<\/a><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> List software skills in plain text, never as icons<\/a><\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Put your contact details on every single page<\/a><\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> Keep layouts clean, consistent, and accessible<\/a><\/p>\n
