Architecture portflio

Im not doing anything architecture-focused in my art Alevel so far... should I turn it in a more architectury direction to help a possible portfolio in the future or are they just looking for a good A level grade?

Suprisingly, unis don't particularly want to see drawings of buildings in architecture portfolios - they want to see a range of skills, including 3D work.

Take a look at the following thread where there is a lot of good advice on developing a portfolio:

If you Google manchester uni architecture portfolio blogspot, you will be able to see examples of portfolios submitted by undergraduate applicants.

Plymouth uni also has some portfolio examples on its website:

Also, different unis will request different things to be included in portfolios so be prepared to adapt it with each application.
