New video in 2 days!✌🏼✌🏼
Hiya is Canva a good software to start a portfolio?
same my born day architect from bangalore
It's a combination of art, architecture, biology, chemistry, and philosphy. It's so good that i'm crying 😢😥😭😭😭
First project is like you parents want you to become a doctor but you want to be an architect - Beautiful Portfolio, and Congrats
U got me there bro😭😂
damn that was some amazing art-
and pls don't delete this bc my future self might need it
This is such a beautiful portfolio. The concepts, the representations, the overall minimal look of the portfolio aghh so good. I am a first year archi student and this is so inspiring to me thank you so much.
Hii which college are you in?
Much love
BOIIII when you said undefeated you weren’t lying, this is amazinggggg!!!!!!
cheers!
how's this guy not famous???? talented, funny, talented, interesting, clever, talented. I WANNA BE FRIENDS
You have an interesting portfolio. The thought process is unique. Love your ‘water’ painting.
damn, how do I withdraw my application. they're gonna laugh in comparison to this.
I feel like UCL looks for scarily talented portfolios but I don't think all portfolios will be as high quality as this one. Sending in a portfolio is so scary tbh my portfolio is nearly done and I'm teriffied haha. Everything seems better than mine for some reason.
good luck y'all you go both gonna do great ;)
You’ll be fine. In a 3rd year architectural design student at Pratt university. I didn’t even submit a portfolio to be admitted into the university. Main thing is showing you can grow. Architecture is a hard as fuck major and you’re gonna have a lot of sleepless nights when you first start out. As long as you have some good grades you can get into most schools. But you’ll be at a disadvantage when you first start out. Just don’t be discouraged.
cant believe im just seeing this😂im sure you're fine. I've been rejected from plenty of universities at this point haha i think this portfolio is just quite finalized as in well-formatted, but i don't think that's required at all, hope it all went well! And if not, there's always masters brother
Your portfolio is amazinggg. This is honestly so helpful - I'm at the stage where I'm starting my portfolio drawings and ideas and I want to apply to Bartlett so this gives really good insight. Thank youuu (Pls don't delete this video I really need it to help me)
Heyyy I love ur portfolio! I'm actually going to go to Bartlett in September :)
First year student?
@@canmandan6 yeah! Any recommendations?
Dont stress, be crazy with your ideas and just do exactly as your tutors say :)
@@adrianarodriguez-villa5222 Hi congrats on getting in! How are you finding it so far? I am thinking about applying to UCL this year is there any way you could review my portfolio to see if it is a good enough standard?
Can you please make a video about the process to get into bartlett, I am really looking forward to apply once I complete my bachelor but I don't really have the guidance. It'll be really very helpful if you could upload a video about the different levels of examination or interviews before getting into Bartlett or few things to keep in mind before applying for bartlett and a little bit about the things the jurors look for in your portfolio or whatever documents we have to submit and also a little bit about the scholarship or funding methods available. Thank you.
dude i love your portfolio and the first project you showed dude !!!! AMAZING!!! I can totally understand it after you explained it... i really loved your drawings btw
Your portfolio is simply stunning! Looking to apply in a master in architecture and i really hope i can make something good but nothing compared to yours!
I love the way you combined both biology and architecture. I’ve always tried to find the way to join them so it’s great to see how someone has made it happen.
love your works, presentation and visual effects
I'm never getting accepted what- you're so talented
Thank you so much! And hope it went well?
absolutely amazing! Im thinking about applying to Cambridge university , or TU delft bouwkunde (also architecture) , but what surprises me is that TU delft has a higher ranking in 'world best university for architecture' than Cambridge even though getting into Cambridge is way harder
Yeah! I was suprised too when i learnt that TU Delft was in the top 3 in architecture. It was coming after MIT and i was shocked. That was the first time that i heard about TU Delft. Than i searched about it and now i want to study arch. in TU Delft too. Hope you get in there:)
@@nur-fu7po wait you guys speak dutch? it was my dream uni until I saw the language requirements :/
I really want to know how your teacher teaches you, I don't think even your teacher could be more talent than you.
Hahaha thats not the case, i still get obliterated during tutorials:)
Could you please make a video about your creative process? Your artworks are amazing and so interesting. I’m curious about your thinking process :DDD
I would love to😩, just been super busy haha but i will definitely try to post some time before Spring break ends:)
This is absolutely amazing! Well done.
Hi! Excellent video mate, and I feel kinda dumb asking for this but could you maybe make a video about tips for students aspiring for post graduate courses at UCL or other top tier unis? I mean stuff like what to keep in mind while making a portfolio and while applying etc
Yea of course, but since im still in undergrads i think i’ll just give my personal perspective on Bartlett as a whole in terms of what its all about, definitely a video i want to do :)
hi! This is absolutely incredible. I'm a visual arts and design student, and I really want to go to ucl but i havent done much architectural pieces in the past. Any recommendations on what to focu on? Were these pieces/projects set by your teachers? (thanks for the video!)
Thats cool! I think visual arts have so much in common with architecture. Maybe try drawing with a story or prompt in mind? As in less focused on techniques but more of using techniques to tell a story, for example, a painting of your room if you could buy anything you wanted. Or what would it look like if you were to design a teddy bear or a pillow that's most suitable for visual arts students, idk just random things that you enjoy haha. Try to build a story around these things that you can explain to the viewer and point to parts of the drawing as you go along. In my humble opinion, architecture is mostly storytelling of why a thing looks like what it is so as long as you can explain the reason you drew a certain thing in a certain way, it's good! And better if what you're drawing is somewhat structural/inhabitable :) A few of the projects at the end were school projects, but mostly are ones i did outside of school with prompts that i decided!
This is awesome! Taking some inspiration from this!
A perfect combination of everything! Very nice.
I mean wow this is astounding I was just wondering if any of the universities had set requirements as in a set number of pages or did they wanted anything specific? Also is there a set theme do they ask you for something specific?
definitely have requirements for amount of pages and each Uni is different. No themes though i've never applied to a university with a specific theme!
"If we ask you to send a digital portfolio, combine your pieces into one PDF document. It should be around ten pages and no larger than 10 MB." This is bartlett digital portfolio guideline. But you don't keep this guideline.(Pages of your porfolio is over than 10pages.) Is it fine? or have porfolio guideline changed?
Hmmm i actually don't know. I remember the limit to be "under 25 pages" when i applied. And i never submitted a PDF version, only a physical copy that i mailed to them so maybe the guidelines are different now
Looking at a Bartlett portfolio gives me throwbacks 🌝🌝 such a wild ride
Did all your projects have a purpose (were they made to be displayed somewhere or for a grade? Besides the UCL summer course one ofc) and is that necessary or would it be okay to just include art that I’ve made just at home for myself and specifically to include in a portfolio? Does the work absolutely have to show architectural thinking- be about other people and the outside world- or would it be okay to include purely cerebral and personal work?
Could you tell me a little about what you included in your personal statement and if it was the same for AA as it was for UCAS?
Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful
Definitely put some personal works that aren't subject related in your portfolio, it shows that you have a "personality". I've 3 types of works in my portfolio, architectural ones(my thinking), personal ones(what i care about - lion painting), and school works(my other skills - digital illustrations), diversity is good! However, only put in your proudest works, they say your portfolio is as good as your worst piece in it haha, you want to aim for around 10 pages.
For personal statement, i wrote two different ones for UCAS and AA, i actually made up my entire AA statement talking about a place i've never been to... but yea, you portfolio is much more important than you PS. AA's prompt was to describe your experience in a "space/building" that you enjoyed(reading online articles about architecture helps alot), and UCAS was just to talk about why you chose the program i think(get personal with this). Hope this helps!!
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 thanks a ton!
I am creating a portfolio and I have watched this on repeat
Make more vids bro im gunna start architecture next month and i would like to see u in vids
🐐
My broski man frr. Helpful vid 🙏🏻
haha thank you
i’ve knocked out by UCL architecture sketching skills that’s just absurd
bruhhh how can you FORGOT to send the portfolio LOLLLLLL
EPIC
what did you use to make this?
InDesign!
Omg I thought if peterdraws right away, love himm
You love using geometry for your designs ahahah.. my teachers killed that passion in me last year. They want more abstract design ideas
Can't geometries be abstract?🤔don't let them kill your passion brother
omg your portfolio is so cool omgomgomgomg
I really wanna know how yo apply for undergraduate in barlett cuz I cant understand on the website
Hello, i love your videos and i appreciate what u do...pls i have a question, i am about to apply to UCL MARCH program...any idea of how many projects i should include in my portfolio...thanks.
才在xhs上刷到你诶！太有才了！要是能加上字幕就更好了😌
贊同！
I don't know if this is too much to ask, but could you possibly look over my portfolio after I have fully completed it...maybe advise me on how to touch it up? Your portfolio is probably the best I have seen for uni entries so far ngl !!
No but i do offer tutorials :)
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 Thats okay thx, I have another question - On your map of las vegas slides how did you photoshop your drawings so precisely. Especially the part where you layered the drawings on two different coloured backgrounds. I am trying to do this as well but it would take me hourssss to erase each individual pixel, so is there like a shortcut?
@@hey2422 think i did something like this: ruclips.net/video/KCE4qKKtad8/видео.html&ab_channel=MichaelBullo
now im feeling insecure about my portfolio lol...I'm applying for next year
you've already done yours..whAt i'm applying next year too havent started rippp
@@sagrikaarun9428 I'm an early applicant coz I'm applying to Cambridge so yh
@@rebe_eka Guys please help they’re asking for a short story in response to a journey I take in my everyday life. I don’t know what they mean by “a journey I take in my everyday life” is it a physical journey? Is it an on going journey? What do they mean??
@@yasuof3291 I submitted a short storyboard/comic book of a physical journey I took. The prompt they gave us this year was extremely vague and I personally think it's open for interpretation, to be honest. I think the things you mentioned are all valid.
I'm applying for next year too (not for UCL but Sheffield) and I just started mine lmao. I'll probably have around 5 weeks and I've been pulling all nighters trying to get stuff done that I'll be proud of. It's so nerve wrecking tho.
I think im in love with you
it's just the best I have seen
Hey i love u too man ;)
are there any must have equipments u would recommend for a first year archi student? (imma be in bartlett in sep :))
Congrats! First year is all about learning how to hand draft, so i recommend getting a drawing table right off the bat :)
This is unreal I’m-
Your video was very helpful, thanks❤️
Dumb question, but you drew/modelled the vast majority of these images? I’m planning on doing an architecture-based postgrad at UCL and am still putting together a portfolio but the issue is, I don’t have a strong art background (so no drawings from school etc) and I’m not a particularly good artist to begin with, so I’m stuck 🥲
Definitely too late to respond to this, but yeah what makes you interested in architecture? i think just use whatever medium you want to showcase that interest, film, photo, clay model, food, essay. I don't think you NEED a art background for it, but i do think it would be good to have the fundamentals of some form of design method (drawing, 3d modelling...) since you will eventually be designing
They always say put sketches or hobbies when applying to university (masters) but I don’t sketch buildings it’s more of fashion illustration would it be a wise decision to include it under hobbies and skills ?
100%!
broo you are goated
What was the font size you used in your intro page?
When did u start to prepare all these? they are amazing!!!
ty! I started pretty much at the end of summer before my last year of highschool :)
My Leonardo da Vinci, love you
The champ himself!!
It is very inspiring but too late for me to make use of the inspirations coz I'm applying for 2021 UCAS. That is amazing art tho
Thank u!
I want to go to Bartlett, I am currently taking architecture in high school but I still don’t know how to draw :(
Lots of very good drawing tutorials on YT :))
What did you use to make the portfolio ?
wowser this is absolutely awesome!! i'm actually planning to apply for ucl as well !
you said your programme is 3 year, is it Architecture BSc (ARB/RIBA Part 1)? thank you
Yup it is:)
Hey!! Do you know what are the differences between architecture BSc and MSci? I just know that one takes 3 years and the other 5...
I just checked it out:) i don’t think there was a MSci program when i was applying but i think BSc gets credited by both ARB and RIBA but MSci only gets it from ARB, not exactly sure what that means exactly but i think the end certificate u get is abit different
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 ok thank youuu!!!
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 didn’t you need to add some sculptures or a film link or something?? I thought they ask that in the portfolio...
Hello. How was your experience with the precis? Do you have any tips for it?
live, laugh, love ❤❤❤❤❤
How did you transfer your work into a digital portfolio? Also is there a suggested amount of time to create your portfolio so that it is ready?
You just photograph/scan them and drag them into InDesign, my next video will likely be about this topic but yea. And i spent 4months on my architectural works and portfolio making(excluding my personal works from and stuff from school )
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 do different unis for for different things in a portfolio or are they all kind pf looking for the same thing?
plinkaplanka all pretty similar in my opinion, you only need one portfolio
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 do you think i could use some pictures of models i made in my school for a product that im designing?
plinkaplanka of course haha
this is amazing!!
thank you!!
Hmm personally I'm missing the architecture in this, there's not a single actual space or building, it might sound ignorant but for me personally it's all very abstract and mostly art related. I have seen this before and I guess it has to do with the different styles of schools and degrees. I guess here in Italy we take a much more practical and applicable approach. I liked your portfolio's composition and layout though, the art is also good but I feel like most of these projects are a really good start and research, and initial concept. But I'm missing how that was applied to become an actual phisical structure.
Who cares he got in is what matters 😂
Completely understand your thoughts haha im very aware of this. I think there are many ways to design and at this level, i was more interested in learning how to visually combine references. I would say tho that this is still very much architecture, just not practical architecture, im sure you look at a lot of visual references yourself that might not be spatial and technical - Lebbeus woods for example :)
Heyy could you suggest some apps or platforms you used in making your digital portfolio?
Illustrator for drawing 2d things digitally, photoshop for making layouts or images or collages, InDesign for laying out portfolio!
hey, i’m here again!!
i don’t know if you said it (sorry🥺), but could you tell if you took any A Levels in Art or any other qualifications? thank you!!
I didn’t take A levels haha i went to highschool in Canada but i did take Visual and Media Arts :)) i don’t think it’s required though
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 thank you!!
Hi! Im applying to UCL this year and I will submit my digital portfolio tomorrow. In their website it says that only 10 pages of work is to be submitted, but you and other people on youtube submit a lot more than 10 pages. Is the rule bendable? pls reply i need to submit my portfolio tomorrow. thanks!
i think rules were probably different back then, i definitely submitted according to the requirements haha don't test them!
Can I ask how did you submit your physical portfolio? For example, do you have to print out your digital sketches and drawings?
Yeah exactly, i printed the portfolio in booklet form and mailed it to the school!
anyone know what software was used to make the portfolio?
InDesign
Hey, I was wondering about the grades you had when applying for these unis, do you think it plays a large role in the application?
Ucl required 75 average for my case(international student from Canada) and mine was higher (90+) but its not that important as long as u pass the requirement :)
Nice!! Can I ask, what font are you using?
I am actually not sure tbh since i don’t have the indesign file on my computer anymore, but impact seems pretty close :)
Amazing portfolio!
What was the name of the artist you did an inspired piece of a Canadian scene ?
Not sure which project you’re speaking of, the cedar leaf one?
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 No, I mean the one called landscape in section 5. Sorry should have made that more clear😅.
@@zainab0_048 Ohh the painting, her name is Julia Veenstra!
may I ask what website or app you used to make the portfolio and the drawings?
InDesign for portfolio and Illustrator for all the digital drawings!
What website did u use to create it ?
I used inDesign!
Hi, a lil bit out of topic but what types of laptop do you recommend for architecture ?
A laptop is enough for 1st and 2nd year like a decently high performance laptop and i now use a pc:)
Big peterdraws fan here woohoooo
hahahahahahha i love him!! so cool to see him do architecture too!!
Hey dude. I have a question.
Do Architect students have spare time in which they can Learn some other courses and do some part time job??
Oh yeah, it depends on the school but generally you can find time for other commitments like societies and part times but obviously you will be pretty busy after that :)
Your portfolio was so good and your advice was very helpful. The layout was also something I would aim towards as I am applying to unis this year, I was wondering what software you used to make a professional-style, digital portfolio? and how you managed to import your sketches and studies to make them look seamless with the background slides?
Thanks,
Vivek
Vivek Shah tysm! So for the layout i used InDesign, which will take care of all ur future portfolio making throughout undergrads. You want to keep your layout as simple as possible (i kinda over-did it), because your works should be the main focus. Theres alot of InDesign tutorials out there so learning the basics shouldn’t be a problem(all u need is the basics). The most useful feature for me is the guidelines which you can use to keep your layout consistent so your entire portfolio can look cohesive! For examples of good layouts, just search up some professional architecture portfolio online, or use mine as a reference.
Since my pages are mostly white, i simply scanned my sketches, and since they were done on white paper, no blending is needed :) and for paintings and pieces that you can’t scan, you can check out the tutorials on yt about photographing paintings/models. Hope this helps!
Excellent
Wait I'm confused is this your portfolio to apply to college... As in you made this in highschool? Or is this your portfolio after two years of architecture
This was my highschool portfolio for apply to uni!
hi .. your high school portfolio is better than some uni graduating students - with your very creative conceptual mind, you should have gone to AA ..
Does your portfolio for an architecture course have to be architectural or can it be like fine art based or like photography etc
Can be anything! Just show your love for what you do! Would be good to have some variation to show different skills but yeah i think different is good, as long as you are really well-versed at the medium you choose.
it's really impossible for international students to finance studies at UCL without aids. Do they give full scholarships to international students?
Yeah they do have Global Master Scholarships, don't think it fully funds the entire study but yeah it's also not easy to get from my personal experience! It's not marit based it's need based
how u get all ur photos and sketches so clean on the page
Check out the other vid lol
heyyyyyy awseome work...wanted to ask if the sophomore year grades matter much??
Nope, not much at all lol. I think it was like 10-20% of your overall grades. So maybe first year 10%, second year 30%, third year 50% (I think)
Hello ! I'm french and I would like to apply to Bartlett but I'm a little lost in the process, It's a lot different than in France 😅. So, I'm still in high school (Year 13) and I will apply for a bachelor. Do I need to do the same kind of Portfolio you did ? Because I saw that I need to do an assessment task but not really a portfolio.
It would help me a lot if you answer 😅
Just checked, in the "Selection" section it says"Submissions will then be assessed and successful applicants are invited for an interview to present a portfolio of work."
The one you present on your video was also to apply for a bachelor ?
@@aurianect3286 oui
what subjects did you do?
Data management, calculus, visual arts, communication technology, computer science, english, physics!
Hellooo dude how are you ? Can I get into Bartlett undergrad architecture program with full financial aid without any exam if I develop impressive portfolio ?
Sorry dude i don’t think i know enough to answer ur question but i’m sure the school can help u out, just shoot them an email :)
Bomb Portfolio!!!!
Ty!
what did you use to make the portfolio.... mine is due in 2 days
InDesign my friend
Yo, when did you apply? After AS or after finishing A levels
I didn't do A levels, was in the AP system since i applied from Canada
Hi Kelvin, how are you, I would like to ask you that in London, do the architecture student can do drafting related job or render or studies basis that will open a chance to make money that helps them to provide their universities expenses and studies too alongside their daily expenses, brother is it possible find and do a job alongside architecture studies that helps to provide all expences, thanks, brother.
Hey, to fully fund your studies? I think it's doable if you are paying local fees, you can find jobs at local firms for sure given you have the technical skills or experience. But if you're paying international fees then it's kind of impossible to fully fund it with part-time jobs...
Did you get any scholarships? How do you manage ur finances for UCL cause their tuition for international students is crazy expensive
It is crazy expensive... i unfortunately did not get scholarships (it's not easy to get :/) but i've tried time and time again
Cheers bro
cheers g
Great work.. 😬
Thank you!
On a scale of 1 - 10 . How hard do u think learning Architect is??
Oh boy, its a 10 sometimes but i would give it an 8 on average :)
Yep I deffo ain't going to get in , 😭. I ain't very smart I doing 2 Alevel (art and physics) and 1 equivalent, ocr cambridge technicals level 3 diploma(IT), , I'm good at art but I feel like I might flop physics 😭, and IT is easy but do they accept all level 3 qualifications which means it equivalent to A level?? 😭😭😭 , I feel I would recieve A 4 art C/D 4 physics and a D (distinction) (equivalent to an A ) in IT,, but yh 😩😩😩 rah I really wrote a whole essay 😅
Grades really don't matter much for UCL lol, it's probably too late for me to say this but hope you did well anyways! (+there is always masters)
Is this portfolio for applying after high school? or after 2 years in architecture?
Highschool:)
What is that music mixer software called? at 2:33
lmao its FL Studio
@@kelvindoesarchitecture6793 How did you learn it? Is it easy to learn music software?
@@deeebshows3008 i didnt really learn it well lol i was pretty bad at it, i'd say it's hard at least for me
Hello! Just a question, did you transfer to UCL for your second year? Or you did your 1st year there as well?
I started at bartlett in first year :)
Ahhh just curious do you know if they accept 2nd year transfers? 😄
@@rosscoronia i don't think so lol, unfortunately
ay shit haha you weren't kidding about it being undefeated
