Wow this work is outstanding 👏 I'm scare for my portfolio I'm about to send for my MA architecture here in London. Please give some details on the software you are using for your rendering. Can you also have a Tutorial on you mappings looks amazing 👏 Thanks 😊

[@harrylam6559]

Thank you!! In the video I used vray and photoshop for my renders, but now I have switched to lumion instead as it is faster and easier to render! I’ll make some videos on rendering and mapping techniques in the future! 😁

[@ecehanbalkc6146]

you're really cute and that photoshop work seriously looks incredible!

[@harrylam6559]

Thanks a lot 😁😁😁❤️

[@msoswal]

I loved your portfolio and your style💯 What do you think a portfolio should look like? Are Monochromatic and simple portfolios acceptable? Or whatever works?

[@harrylam6559]

Thank youuuu, honestly don’t feel pressured to do a portfolio similar to those featured online etc. I feel like ur portfolio should really showcase your individuality. So whatever works fine! But I would suggest to keep things clear and easy to read. Not too much text as they wouldn’t be too bothered to read it. 👌

[@josetolentinoii]

your portfolio looks sooo good

[@harrylam6559]

Thank you so much !! 😊😊😊

@@harrylam6559 can you tell me what software do you use making your diagrams and elevations/sections? I’m currently taking bachelor’s degree of architecture. any help would be much appreciated. 😊

[@harrylam6559]

@@josetolentinoii I use Rhino to create the sections using the command “Make2D” then I save the drawing and transfer it into photoshop, where I add the colors to it 😄

Nice portfolio 🤩🤩

[@shristi8095]

All your projects and portfolio works are great!!! I want to ask if you made this in A4 size or A3 size. Which paper size is normally required for portfolios for universities?

[@harrylam6559]

I made it in A4 size :) easier to mail over for the application if needed.

[@dakshagehani7116]

Hi! Thanks for the video it's very helpful. There's hardly any info from M.Arch students in NUS so this is super appreciated. Had a question--when do early deadline and regular deadline results come out? Im a bit lost on that. And if you don't mind, may i know how much the printing services cost in NUS and if they have A2, A1 and A0 printing? Thanks in advance!!

[@harrylam6559]

Hey there, results should come out in March. In terms of printing cost I only know A1 ranges from $5-15 I think. I will be posting out a new video in a few days showcasing my work at NUS, so check it out if your interested 😁

How to stay young while you master in architecture. I haven't finished my bachelor's yet, I'm getting old😊

My works are not this massive like yours, was thinking of way to make it look good though and I want detailed list of informations that need to be explained in a portfolio designs like site analysis and the rest🙏🏾

[@SaddamHusain-qo8cl]

Thank you for sharing nice information regarding your experience and Portfolio. Can you please guide me from where I should start learning architecture. I have Bachelors in telecommunication engineering from UET Taxila, Pakistan and now I want to learn architecture because its my dream profession

[@harrylam6559]

Hey, you could apply for bachelors of architecture as well. You could also try to apply small architecture firms to hopefully get a small position for some experience.

[@hcssein]

it was awsome.. what software do you modeling with? thanks

[@harrylam6559]

I model on rhino :)

[@johnsmith-pc8gb]

Hi Harry, just came across your informative video, could you give some nsight to the NUS interview process?

[@harrylam6559]

Hey John so they will schedule a time for your interview and they will ask you to present one of your projects to them, and then ask you some questions like “do u have work experience?” , “why NUS” etc , it will only take around 10-15mins

[@estherkwonmem]

dopeee

[@wolemadamori8707]

Hello Harry, very nice videos. Please would like to know how you do your renders, that is which softwares. I will like to create something similar. Thank you

[@harrylam6559]

I used rhino to model, Vray to render and then photoshop for touch ups 😁

[@eeel185]

Thanks for your sharing, May I know what rendering software did you use for your portfolio?

[@harrylam6559]

I used Vray and photoshop 😁

[@kwaichingcheung283]

[@akankshaagrawal8925]

Hey Harry. Thanks for making this video to help students like us. I had a question , actually few questions. Can you list down the 10 questions that are generally asked in these type of interviews? And Do you have your letter of recommendation template that you can share? Do these universities require statement of purpose? last but not the least, what is the song that you used in your video at the end?

[@harrylam6559]

Hey, a few questions may be “why did you apply for this uni?, which architect inspires you?, do you have any working experience? , why do you like architecture? ….yes I had a few letter of recommendation which my referrals wrote themselves without following a template. Some uni requires statement of purpose. I remember Sydney Uni and UCL needed, but can’t remember if NUS needed.

[@dust_za]

Thanks for sharing

[@harrylam6559]

Pleasure to help! 😄

[@vincentxiao1836]

Hi Harry, thanks for this video! I just have a question about the bachelors degree you took at Sydney before applying at the NUS. Was it a 4 yr degree? Because here at the university of Auckland, the b.arch degree is only 3 years, while NUS seems to require a 4 year degree to get into M.Arch

[@harrylam6559]

My BArch was 3years at Sydney university. A 3yr BArch degree from Auckland should be fine too.

[@helenwang6230]

What do u think UCL looks for in a portfolio? I’m currently studying in USYD too and wish to apply UCL for masters, but doubting if I should work after completing bachelors. Do you recommend taking a year of work experience before applying for their masters?

[@harrylam6559]

Work experience is definetly valued for masters application, so I would recommend maybe a gap year working :)

[@Kate-kp2dj]

What font did you use? It looks amazing

[@harrylam6559]

Thanks haha I think it was Myraid Pro

[@FA-00]

Just wondering, for the projects that you worked on during your gap year. Are these independent or something that you worked on at work? If they are independent, how did you get feedback for improvements on them?

[@harrylam6559]

Hey, they were projects that I did when I worked at an Archi firm. But I mainly took in charge of the projects, so I often would get feedback from the client. we would meet up every so often to discuss changes and development. Etc , hope this helps !

Hey your portfolio looks very organised … is Singapore is good option for master ? I m searching for good university can you suggest

[@harrylam6559]

Hello, thanks! Yes NUS Masters program is a great option, and known for their thesis works. AA, UCL etc are also great options which some of my friends from my bachelors have chosen them instead. 👍

[@rabia3715]

Hi, which programme did you use for your perspective sections please ?

[@harrylam6559]

Hello I used Rhino, then imported the lines to photoshop

[@vidnaldo6025]

Bro . i wonder if i can know about work experience letter of your application ..

[@harrylam6559]

Hey so what I wrote for my work experience is basically just the types of projects I was involved in, eg I did a residential renovation which I talked about how I worked closely with the builders to achieve project satisfaction. I also talked about how I was involved in commercial type of projects and explained it a bit. Hope this helps

[@huilinng8444]

Hi Harry, I've just discover your video, just one question while applying for nus, do you also submit GRE test?

[@harrylam6559]

Yes you need to submit ur GRE or something equivalent.

[@ramneekkaur5900]

@@harrylam6559do we still need a gre score. Even most American unis have made it optional now and some don’t even ask for it now

[@amarokram3367]

Hey I just wanted to know about the scholarship program in nus and whether u got one or not?

[@harrylam6559]

Hey, there are only a few scholarships available for international students in the architecture programs at NUS. I don’t have one unfortunately.

[@rabia3715]

I kindly wanted to ask why did you not use any works you have done from your gap year? Do universities prefer student projects more ?

[@harrylam6559]

Hi, I also included my work from my gap year, however I put it at the end of my portfolio after my work form my bachelors degree.

[@LyssaDiamond]

Did you have to do a personal statement?

[@NiccoTijing]

Hey Harry, does NUS have a grade requirement in order for me to enroll? I've read that you need to be a graduate with honors in order to get in. By the way, I finished my Bachelor in a University in the Philippines. Thank you Harry!

[@harrylam6559]

Hello, you don’t have to graduate with honors but it can sure help you get in easier. I dont remember the requirement being too harsh, but of course the better your grades the higher chance you will be selected amongst the other candidates

[@ariuhnna]

hi, did you have to come up with a portfolio for undergraduate admission into NUS architecture? (e.g. to bring for interview) if yes, do you have tips on what to include in the portfolio?

[@harrylam6559]

Hi, I did my bachelors degree at USYD, but I know that undergraduate in NUS doesn’t require a portfolio, however having one will greatly increase your chances of getting accepted. You can put anything design related, like your drawings, photography, design skills etc

[@harrylam6559]

I believe it’s your choice of including a portfolio or not, but you should double check as requirements may have changed.
