Keep making videos bro, especially on Rhino and Grasshopper. I like how you mention the probable construction materials and methods for the geometry.

Thanks, your support means a lot. I'll definitely be uploading more rhino videos that emphasize assembly and some rendering videos as well.

Great content. I have some questions. 1. Is Indesign way better for jury architecture posters. Or can i stick to PS for organizing. 2. i see alot of of these nice 2d drawings with different shades are they necessary for portfolios if i know how to submit rendered 2ds with all arch symbols dims etc..? Thank you

1. InDesign is used for publication and layout design ( books, magazines, posters, etc) because it can handle both vector (linework) and raster (image) based files. And it's much easier to lay things out in InDesign compared photoshop or illustrator. There is an alternate to InDesign called Affinity Publisher. 2. Your architecture portfolio (for undergraduate submission) should represent and reflect 2 things: A - Your creative thought process through different mediums (drawing, model, photography, etc) and B. The curriculum of the architecture school If you're applying to a school that emphasizes design from a conceptual standpoint, then make sure your portfolio communicates conceptual design even if your project's aesthetics are technical. If you're applying to a program that focuses on pragmatics and assembly, like how a building is put together, then make sure your portfolio displays your technical drawing acumen, whether it's detail drawings, exploded axonometrics, or sections and plans. 3. Your portfolio for jobs should strictly cater to what the firm is asking for in the job description and the kind of work the firm pursues. Don't send a conceptually-driven portfolio to a firm that only designs and builds boiler-plate office parks. And don't submit boiler-plate development work and bathroom details to a firm that does lots of international competitions. Hope this helps!
