    Your architecture portfolio doesn't have to look like it came out of an SCI-FI movie. In this video, I share the surprisingly simple portfolio that got me 4 interviews, 3 job offers, and my dream job at Gensler as an architect.
    If you're more of a technical architect who's struggling to put together a portfolio that showcases your technical skills, this video is perfect for you. I also share a few tips at the end to help you stand out more when you bring this architecture portfolio to an interview.

    Love this video! While I’m not a recent grad anymore (I also am in the fb group and follow you on LinkedIn) I wanted to give this a watch just so I can update my portfolio when it’s time to start looking again. I’ve landed jobs doing exactly this! My portfolio was probably 10 pages max, what helped was me talking to them about what I’ve done.

    Wow this video was so helpful!!! I’m currently trying to look for new jobs with 2 years of experience and it’s so hard to find any guidance or examples on what to do with your portfolio or when you go to interviews, thank you!

    Thank you so much for sharing your portfolio format! It is challenging to find formats for working professionals, not just students. I'm 10 years into my career and now own a design studio, but I do a lot of projects as an independent contractor, so a simple portfolio that gets all the ideas across quickly is helpful.

    • @JoannLui

      @@JoannLui Me too! Great video and channel! It’s so hard to simplify but it probably really helps to highlight your best work only. I’ll be applying for jobs soon! I have almost 4 hrs experience under my belt at one firm and it’s so scary to put a portfolio out there again, it wasn’t easy getting this job to begin with 😅

    Any advice for architecture portfolio covers?
    Should it be creative with personality or would a minimalistic cover be better?

    Hello. This is a great video. Thanks. I just would like your suggestion on how to present a portfolio if you only have Cad experience. No renders or 3d images were using in my office, Maybe 1 or 2. By the way my experience is more than 10 years in small projects but always using Autocad . I appreciate your imput

    • @JoannLui

      Was there any photography done for finished projects or even construction photos? Or hand sketches, axonometrics etc. Can you color an overall elevation and site plan to make them more visually appealing? I don't think you have to have renderings, but an overall visual look of the project would be very helpful!

  • @JoannLui

    Do you prefer a simple architecture portfolio or a crazy fancy one?

    • @richasumadu9365
      @richasumadu9365 2 роки тому

    Hello Joann, I'd like to ask you how could I make the shift from being a design architect into a technical architect? Do you recommend any books or courses to enhance my ability to draw construction drawings?

    • @JoannLui
      @JoannLui  Рік тому

      I’d recommend studying construction documents. When I first started, I’d bring some CD sets home and study them. Ask questions if there’s anything you don’t understand!
