[@LearnUpstairs]

This is really cool! The level of design and detail on a second-year project is outstanding. Congrats and thanks for sharing your portfolio! 🙏

[@lissafebriyanti8500]

Your work is really great ! I can feel that you put so much effort to your project, wish i could applying Architecture schools after graduate from civil engineering !!~~

[@universtar-me]

you can hun

[@jessica.l838]

Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting to watch since I'm thinking about applying to architecture schools too!

[@EthnieXu]

Thanks! Glad to hear 😁

[@itamarneira9391]

Thanks for sharing this! Very inspiring and there is a great level of design. Congrats!

[@architectureprep]

Awesome work - really advanced drawing skills too. Well done!

[@y.m.t]

Thank u that was really helpful...and ur really talented

[@qiyinsheng8099]

your projects are remarkable! could you share with me how you get your inspiration, I always feel struggle when I start a new project

[@helenwang6230]

I’m studying in USYD arch and I was so surprised when you introduced your second year project because the model is displayed on the second level of Wilkinson atm!!

[@EthnieXu]

haha I'm surprised it's still there!

[@simweir]

One of the best models ever made in Wilkinson!

[@EthnieXu]

@@simweir THANK YOU Simon!!!

[@vietnguyen7522]

Nice Portfolio! I am applying this year as well, nervously waiting xD

[@EthnieXu]

Good luck!!!

[@jessiekwok2507]

It seems like a variety of control lines with different angles and curves make the architect cool and complex. In some Asian arch schools, students still used to utilizes vertical and horizontal architecture languages. Could you plz give some tips for ones to take a step to the free and relatively complex form？

[@EthnieXu]

Generally softwares like rhino and maya are good for making curved shapes :)

[@jessiekwok2507]

@@EthnieXu Thank you. And I didn't mean the software and drawing skills. It seems lots of architecture of NURBS presents forms and aesthetic values rather than other elements. I may reserve my opinion about this question. Maybe I have a limited comprehension of architecture education programs in American.

[@tuklplubl]

really nice models!

[@harrylam6559]

Nice work !

[@sarkiss6569]

Beautiful and neat.

[@mahirmuhammad6148]

so, this was your ug college application portfolio which you made in highschool? Phenomenal!🙏

[@EthnieXu]

No I made this in undergrad! But thank you!!

[@sunnyyy570]

​@@EthnieXuSo did you apply for master with this ?

[@zen_end2]

Hi Ethnie! As a fellow highschool architecture student who is also apart of the "Xu" family, I have to say that I am amazed! By any chance do you have any information about yourself from the undergraduate times of your college years? What college you went to or what your portfolio looked like?

[@EthnieXu]

Hi! Thank you so much, this means so much to me! Yes, I have shared my portfolio in other videos before and I’m planning to make more content on my personal journey.

[@keleniengaluafe2600]

[@cocteaud]

Your thesis project was built by Steven Holl in Houston

[@EthnieXu]

😲

[@evarodova2045]

Really nice work, congrats! I just wonder how many pages u can have in an application? I thought to Columbia it is only 20, but you have more so I just want to know how it is counting. I am going to apply next year.

[@EthnieXu]

A spread is one page :)

[@flashgames1273]

great portfolio! quastion: (earthquake project) why did you cover the rooms and lit them only with indirect light(from the top)? Could you explain the logic behind the form? It is not very clear what were you trying to solve, (at least for me) :D, overall good job

[@محمدنیلوفری-ر3ق]

Nice portfolio. Congratulations. But I have question Is there any way to download portfolio to read?or is there any telegram page that we download this portfolio?

[@arnoldtsui7017]

Which software did u use for the rendering? and also how did u know how to form the portfolio, like were there any criterias to follow?

[@hanxuanzhang8135]

Thank you for sharing! I know some schools limit the number of pages you can have in a portfolio (e.g. UC Berkeley requires no more than 20 pages). Did you send your entire portfolio to all the schools you applied to?

[@BaurzhanAbenov]

Hi Ethnie! I'm also applying this year for the master's and decided to make my portfolio with Adobe Illustrator, but is there a better option, and what program have you used for making your portfolio?

[@charlenezhao3366]

that's so great!! I wanna know how to attend GSD summer school?

[@rosa-vx2pt]

What programs 3d of modelating architecture you uses? is so interesting☺!, thank you for the video

[@EthnieXu]

I mainly used Rhino!

[@omermuratsenel4478]

Congratulations. Which program did you use prepare the portfolio.

[@ceylinsucuer2556]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Great portfolio and projects. Is GPA important? I was wondering could you please share with us GPA also?

[@erikleypoldt8275]

Looks great, could you run down the programs you used for the diagrams. Id like to buy an ipad pro and was hoping if you could do this on that. Do you use PC? Archicad, Revit? Are you a wizz in Photoshop?

[@felx4222]

Use a pc!! Most programs only work on pc. sure you can draw on ipad but very rudimental comparing to a cad or vectorline program.

[@cminacardena]

Any recommendation for someone who’s gonna apply for Grad School in the States. Love your portfolio.

[@EthnieXu]

Thank you! I guess time management is a key point!

[@wongxu1667]

Hi I was wondering how you got architecture experience or knowledge before high school, like does high school provide the info for you or do you need to do something else? I saw on you portfolio some blue print designs (architectural work). I’m a 14 about to go to high school and I want to be prepared. Thanks.

[@phamonghung638]

i from to viet nam and i love your channel

[@EthnieXu]

Thank you!

[@estebanpoveda3371]

Very nice portfolio! Really successful layout and overall theme. I was just wondering if you’d be willing to share your undergrad GPA

[@EthnieXu]

Thanks for your suggestion! ✨

[@lydiasenghtoipan]

Hello Sis Ethnie, May I know about the undergraduate architecture? Do we need to submit portfolio if we’re applying for B Arch?

[@lilpawa2892]

Does our thesis topic choice matter while appling for masters

[@yinuoxu199]

Great ideas ! Love them ! I'm just curious which one did u go to in the end, is it Yale ~? ( And do we have the same sur name ?!)

[@EthnieXu]

Yes Yale

Is it must to submit portfolio on the deadline of admission or you can submit it later?

[@EthnieXu]

You should submit before deadline 😅

i just finished my ba in berlin with the best possible grade as the best student of my year and I must admit my work looks so shitty in comparison to yours haha

Is this for the undergraduate or graduate program

Graduate

Was this for undergrad or graduate school?

Graduate school

@@EthnieXu Jeesh I thought it was undergrad and I was about to get a heart attack

[@yashii1311]

Do you need to make a portfolio for graduate architecture programs? I’m just a high school student (´▽｀)

[@EthnieXu]

Most schools require one 🙈

@@EthnieXu ahh I see tysm! ^^

[@eduardorozo7915]

Hi, nice video. You did a lot of work and show it in very small images, Why?? I understand that you need to resume a project, with the sacrifice of the information with small images? that´s a problem. I am in a 27 inch monitor, and i couldnt see right your images and the information that you are trying to show´. Less images, bigger format (maybe more pages or a better resume). Nice work and i nice day ;)

[@jakeqin3632]

you should make more jokes

Got it!
