Hi everyone 👋
I’m not applying this year, but I studied at the Architectural Association in London. Thought I’d drop in because I remember how stressful this stage can feel.
If anyone has questions about portfolios, general preparation, or interviews, I’d be happy to share what helped me when I was applying. Feel free to reach out anytime!
Good luck to everyone applying — it’s a tough process, but also a really exciting time!

I want to know what kind of text should be included in a portfolio. Do I need to explain every image, or what is the correct approach?
