Portfolio challenge
A portfolio is an essential tool for architectural designers to present their work, process and ways of thinking to potential clients and employers. But it is also part of our personality, of who we are as working professionals. As Winston Churchill once said, “we shape our buildings — thereafter, they shape us.”
Do you have what it takes to become a student of our Master in Architecture program? Submit your architectural portfolio in order to be considered a candidate for a scholarship of up to 30% toward tuition for the Master in Architecture at IE University.
