Being concise in your portfolios is an important skill to master at architecture school. Be critical and selective about what your show. Don't show everything but don't show too little either!
Careful with the file size, it can be no greater than 100MB. You wont be able to upload a larger file!
While there is no limit on number of pages. Your portfolio should be around 40-80 pages long (not including appendices or title pages)

For your final outputs such as plan and section, this will depend on the size of drawings, but remember all your plans/ sections *should* have context around them, meaning its best to have one drawing to one page. (Architects will sometimes place many drawings on one page for ease of presentation in meetings/ on site so they can refer to each drawing quickly. But in this portfolio, we want see the drawing as the output itself!)

Make sure you include the scale of the orignal drawing (for example: 1:20@A3). You can also draw a scalebar on your drawing before photographing it, then the person viewing the image, can reference the scale from the scale bar.

# data[].attributes.body
You can scan it in parts, and then in Photoshop 'stitch' it back together. In Photoshop create a new document of the actual size of your drawing. Then when you open the 3 scans, you will be able to copy and paste them on to layers. Using the tranparency tool, you will be able to overlay to get a neat drawing. Save as jpg and you have a "flattened" image which can be "placed" into your portfolio.

It will depend on the page, though no page should be just text! Each page should communicate something about your project, which helps us understand why you have designed it that way. Remember you are not going to be there when the portfolio is marked.

Think of the text as more annotation, and captions, than large blocks of writing.

You must consider the professionalism of this document. Unless you have very neat handwriting, then use the computer to type up your text. This will look much more professional.

You will most likely want to include some of your sketches in your portfolio, but be selective. A portfolio is a considered collection, its not just every sketch you did for 4 weeks! You want to select the most important sketches, or maybe even re-draw diagrams so that they are portfolio and presentation quality.

It is preferable to format your portfolio landscape, as your tutors will review them on computer screens/ TV monitors. If you have some drawings which are portrait, you can either reduce them in scale to fit on to the page, or make one or two pages of you portfolio portrait. Make sure if you scale down to note the ORIGINAL scale (e.g. 1:20@A2) and include a scalebar.

Any advice on the design of the portfolio? simple is better?

# data[].attributes.body
This will dependent on your graphic skills. But I would say if this is the first portfolio you are formatting, simple is better. Take a look a some books or magazines and create a simple grid (remember halves and thirds is a good place to start). Then stick to the grid. Once you have laid out your pages, you might find you want to start playing/ breaking the grid. Having some images on their own can help create pacing in your portfolio. Simple title pages, titles, correctly sized text and page numbers makes a bigger difference to the format that you'd think!

Being concise in your portfolios is an important skill to master at architecture school. Be critical and selective about what your include. Don't show everything but don't show too little either!
While there is no limit on number of pages. Your portfolio should be around 30 - 50 pages long - and don't worry if you have more (this may well be due to sketchbook pages/ SKILLS appendices).
The file size mainly relates to the size of images contained in the file. To help reduce the file size, export any photoshop files as jpgs and then place into the InDesign document. Be careful with the file size, as it can be no greater than 100MB and you wont be able to upload a larger file - TOP TIP: Export a test a few days before!

Scanning is the best option, but we understand this might be difficult due to UK lockdowns and tier rules. One of our guests in the last lecture suggested using the scanner  option in the "notes" app if you have an iPhone.  The critical thing is whether you can scan or take a photo of drawings or sketches to make sure you 'clean it up' - this can be done in Photoshop, you want to avoid grainy or grey images, and careful with the light - avoid having dark shadows over your images.

The biggest thing students forget to put in in earlier draft work - this is how you show process. We want to see how the idea developed.

But in general the portfolio is a collection of your Studio 1.1 projects. The minimum required are all the outputs as specified in the 4 projects: MYSPACE, MOVE SPACE, EXPLORATION and STOPOVER as well as images of your sketchbooks.

(I spoke about potential extras to include - a good example of an "extra" would be your work from the All School Project (note: it is not a requirement to include this in your portfolio in first year. But it will be required in 2nd year! Another good example is including your SKILLS outputs - I would advise adding them as an appendix at the end after your sketchbooks.)

Make sure you dont include any Humanities or Technologies work - for example you will submit the case studies in at the end of next term.

No, a portfolio is not the same a presentation, as you will not be there when we mark it. Your Portfolio needs to be read as a stand alone document.

The sketchbooks are not marked, and do not form part of the assessment of this unit. Their inclusion in this submission is purely for your tutor to see how you are working. There is no maximum, but we would expect to see at least a few sketches for each project.

Your Term 1 tutor will mark your Studio 1.1 portfolio. They will moderate with their partner, and then the whole staff team will also moderate a sample of Top / Middle/ Bottom (and Fails).

# data[].attributes.body
If you fail any unit (or a part of any unit e.g. The Essay in Humanities 1) you will be given one resubmission opportunity over the Summer Vacation*. The resubmission deadline is usually in early August. We mark and moderate all resubmissions ahead of the start of the next year so if you pass you are able to join BA2 in September.

* up to 3 units (or 90 credits). If you fail all four units, you are required to repeat year 1 with attendance.
