As well as your UCAS application you will be asked to submit a portfolio which shows evidence of your creative ability, interest in space and enthusiasm for careful representation. Your portfolio should demonstrate creative thinking as well as technical ability. There is no expectation of any prior digital drawing skills. Freehand skills are valued in architecture, therefore sketches showing creative thinking and ideas are particularly relevant, as well as 3D work such as sculpture or models. Typically our applicants will be studying art or design A-level subjects (or equivalent). We will also consider applicants following courses of study that do not include art or design but that engage our physical or social environments, such as geography and philosophy. - Specific guidelines 1.Your portfolio should be a pdf between 15-20 pages in length and contain pieces of work that best show your ability with a broad range of representational techniques. 2.Your portfolio should be presented clearly. Please carefully curate the content, including headings and annotation where necessary. 3.Be selective and consider pieces that best highlight skill and reflect your interests – note that portfolios that include too much information can lose focus. 4.Where possible, highlight development work that leads to a final piece as process work is valued highly. We do not need to see everything – be selective and curate the portfolio with care. 5.Your portfolio may comprise materials from an art or design-related A level, or other relevant work. You can include work created in your own time as well as work produced on creative courses. 6.Please include photographs of physical works such as paintings, models, 3D work, etc. Images should have a clear title and date of completion. If the size of the work is not obvious, please state this in a caption.
