How Should an Architectural Portfolio Be Presented Online?
In architecture, the portfolio is everything.
But a portfolio presented poorly online diminishes the value of your projects.
Should Every Project Be in the Portfolio?
No.
A portfolio should consist of selected projects.
-
Remove work that does not reflect your style
-
Group similar projects together
-
Quality should come before quantity
How Should Visuals Be Used?
-
High-resolution images
-
Minimal use of filters
-
Photographs that clearly show the space
For each project:
-
5-8 strong visuals are sufficient
-
30 photos will tire the visitor
Why Are Project Descriptions Important?
Visuals alone are not enough.
For every project, briefly explain:
-
Project type
-
The scope of work carried out
-
The approach used
This allows the client to envision themselves in that project.
