Undergraduate Architecture Portfolio
GracefulSpoon Version1.0 was mainly a static repository for my undergraduate portfolio and eventually led to this printed version. It’s funny to look back on something that became such a major time investment, something that is supposed to sum up all my design sensibilities, and even, in no small measure, played a major role in determining the outcome of my immediate future. And then, after months of anticipation, the portfolio fulfills its purpose – successfully! – and is no longer relevant. So, in lieu of a fiery burial at sea, I hope a modest blog post isn’t too anticlimactic.

By popular demand, I added a link to lulu if you’d like to order a high-quality, printed version.

Your portfolio is breath taking, I’m an undergrad at UF and I wanted to know if you could give me any tips to make my own work stand out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Hi Bryant, thanks for your comment! Why don’t you put some of your work up on issuu or some other such site and I’d be more than happy to take a look and offer any suggestions. Cheers, J

Excellent work John, I need guidance as well approaching my architecture portfolio. I am an undergraduate transferring soon but I have no idea what to add and how to lay it out. I haven’t done any designs, I’ve been taking drafting, cad, and graphic illustration classes. If you can email me I will add more information. Thanks.

Hey John! Just randomly came across your work online, and I’m really glad I did! You have some amazing, and inspiring work, and I look forward to whatever you produce in the future! Just want to say thanks for some inspiration, from an undergrad arch student at Illinois.
