The portfolio is the single most important document, record, and indication of the standard, competency, and
interests of the individual designer/architect/student. It is locally, nationally, and internationally used for entry into
design/architecture programs, postgraduate study, and for entry into the profession and private practice.
The module will assist students in preparing and presenting their portfolios both verbally and visually. The
module will be presented in the form of a studio with lectures, workshops, tutorials, student presentations and
critique, and class discussion.
The portfolio is a reconciliation of all streams within the program, (architecture design studios, technology and
building environment studies, cultural, artistic and social studies, communication and professional studies) and is
intended as a holistic mean of assessment of a student’s achievements; it should be in no means construed as a
remedial class, a purely graphics or packaging exercise, or a reassessment of past design studios.
The student will demonstrate through the verbal and visual presentation of the portfolio that he/she can
consciously determine a direction for his/her work, and assume responsibility for his/her continuing education.
Module Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
1. Develop and distinguish a personal design statement and direction
2. Strategize and organize the necessary resources (effective time management, application of software,
etc.) for the production of a personal portfolio
3. Produce a compiled document of works that succinctly highlights the student’s personal design
statement, acquired skills and intellectual capacities
