<p>Almost all arch schools ask for a portfolio. I was wondering what you guys and gals have submitted. What are they looking for? Post any examples here please!</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>I heard that schools want stuff that shows your creativity.
They also wanna see your free hand drawing skills.
Some people add in some of the photos they took.
Technical skills like CAD or drafting are not that important, as it like you won’t get an edge if you know these stuff.
Schools wanna see your potential of becoming an architect.
I’m also putting a portfolio together, so far I only have about 8 pieces in it.
Check this out.

<p>I love these Kendezi, especially the sewing machine one.</p>
<p>the best thing you could do would be to visit the schools you are interested in and look at their collection of accepted portfolios. make sure your portfolio shows variety (unlike the one kendezi posted. while it was good, there was no variation…just a bunch of still life paintings and drawings that basically all looked the same). showcase all that you can do. photography is also acceptable as well. have fun with it and be creative! look to see what other architecture schools require (sometimes they are looking for a picture of a specific object or concept) for some ideas.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
