Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)

I'm sorry, I know this question wasn't directed at me but remember "quality over quantity", as well has have a great variety in you work and work that demonstrates creativity.

On my letter from Sidney it says take about 10 pieces and something which shows design development, so I'm taking my a level sketchbook for that.

For the Sheffield portfolio have you used 10 peices, or just 10 images? I've got a 3D peice and I want to show it from different angles, but will that count as more than one image?

Hello people of the architecture applicants thread.
I've just applied a few months back, and at present it looks like this:
Cambridge: Interview at Churchill College, 6/12
Sheffield: Portfolio/Task in progress, deadline 2/12 (LOL really need to do that...)
Cardiff: Portfolio sent. Waiting for a response.
Brighton: Haven't heard anything.
Portsmouth: Conditional offer 29 points <3 (the ultimate backup plan)
Anyhoo, was wondering if anyone else has an interview at Churchill on that day, and if anyone else has heard back from Brighton, 'cos it's been over a month since I sent my application now and I'm yet to even get a confirmation email. :/

Do I have to wait until they tell me to send it or do I just send it once Ive applied? The confirmation email doesnt say anything about sending my portfolio but just that theyve recieved it....

What about portfolios? I have no idea what to put in it, and my interview at Cambridge is in 3 weeks! I don't think including only portrait and photos of places (though very beautiful) is a good idea...

I emailed them regarding that, and its basically '10 files', so you can have as many images per in one page (combining them), but the total number of JPEG's (etc.) has to be 10. But of course if your going to combine images they should link.

I have taken some photo's of some of the stuff I am intending on putting in a portfolio and uploaded them, (sorry about the pic. quality) could anyone take a look and give me some feedback?? Thanks

I've been dedicating my time to prepare portfolios and interviews for universities and putting school work behind (shieffield portfolio due in 25/11, UCL interview 1/12 and Cambridge interview 14/12). WHo is feeling the same?!

Did you do art A level?

I think you've got a good range of pieces.. Are they all original ideas or are some of them Copies of artists work?

I had to send a hard copy to the address listed in the email.

Damn, there are some pretty good work put into that portfolio.
Particularly impressed jealous of your 3D model of beach house how did you do that??
they would be impressed if you put more angles of that house. which uni are you applying to?

Hi I am from Malaysia!

I applied for UCL, Westminster, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

I have just sent my apllication on the 19th November. And I have not get the UCL assessment task! Looking forward!

And do Glasgow School of Art requests for Portfolio?

Don't worry! It takes a while to get the task from ucl and it's only been a couple of days

and GSA do ask for a portfolio, i'm guessing it'll be a digital one if you're in Malaysia
