Portfolio Ideas For Architecture Students: Incorporate Your Sketches

While much of architectural design work is done digitally to save time and improve accuracy, it's still an unspoken expectation that architects should be proficient in sketching designs with pen and paper. Including your analog sketches can also demonstrate your creative process to the full-blown digital rendering of your work and makes for a more interesting portfolio to look at.
