最佳建筑作品集设计
The Best Architecture Portfolio Designs
由专筑网邢子,王雪纯编译
当身为建筑师的你在申请工作时,你需要确保自己有一个完美的作品集。虽然一张精巧而有吸引力的名片可能会帮助你在获得一家公司的关注,一份经过深思熟虑的简历或履历可能会帮助你证明自己的价值,但在大多数情况下,作品集最终决定了你应聘的成功与否。公司会根据你的作品集将用来衡量你是否符合该公司的风格,衡量你的设计敏感度,并判断你是否与简历中所描述的能力相符合。
这就是为什么在三月份,我们呼吁召读者们把自己的作品集发送过来,以便在ArchDaily社区分享这些设计理念。下文将展示我们在收到的近200份作品集中选出的最佳设计,这些作品集不是根据它们所展示的建筑设计的质量(尽管其中有很多优秀的设计),而是根据作品集本身的设计质量来评判的。在进行选择的过程中,我们一直在寻找有吸引力的作品,作品本身的清晰呈现,渗透在建筑设计和作品集设计中的视觉标识的形成,当然还有那难以捉摸的、备受珍视的“创造力”。
在开始之前,我们想借此机会介绍一下设计作品集时的一些技巧:
- 文件大小:不要发送太大的文件。具体的文件大小因情况而异,但作为指导原则,巴西建筑师Gabriel Kogan建议将文件大小保持在15MB以下。
- 文字错误:如果作品集的语言不是你的母语,那就在网上找人帮忙撰写或者校对。
- 长度和内容:将作品组合在一起非常耗时,所以尝试制作一个“一刀切”的作品集听起来很诱人,然而这样的行为是错误的。在接触一家公司的时候需要不同的信息来在面试中展示你的作品,所以理想情况下,你的作品集应该(至少)包括一个两页纸的申请材料以及一个更长的面试材料。理想情况下,作品集的电子版本也应该具备这一点。你甚至可以根据你要申请的个人业务内容来调整作品集。
- 创造力:虽然创造力在作品集中很重要,但不能以牺牲作品集要展示的作品为代价。
- 图片选择:在不同类型的图片之间找到合适的平衡。例如,展示你绘制的技术细节图这很好,但是这些图没什么值得看的内容,所以选一两个关键示例就足够了。同样地,尽管逼真的效果图令人印象深刻,但却需要更多的建筑描述作为补充才能显示出你作为设计师的真实能力。
- 排版:避免杂乱,也不要害怕空白。如果你留白很少,请确保你的布局结构清晰,使作品集易于浏览。
- 细节:平面设计的力量往往在于小细节。始终如一地使用某些布局规则将会给你的作品集带来一种凝聚力。
When applying for an architecture job, you need to make sure you have the perfect portfolio. While a clever and attractive business card might help you initially get a firm's attention, and a well-considered résumé or CV might help you prove your value, in most cases it will be your portfolio that makes or breaks your application. It's your portfolio that practices will use to measure your design sensibilities against the office's own style and to judge whether you match up to the talents claimed in your résumé.
That's why in March, we launched a call for our readers to send us their own portfolios so that we could share the best design ideas with the ArchDaily community. Our selection below shows the best of the nearly 200 submissions we received, which were judged not on the quality of the architectural design they showed (though much of it was excellent) but instead the design quality of the portfolio itself. In making the selection, we were looking for attractive graphics, a clear presentation of the work itself, the formulation of a visual identity which permeated both the architectural designs and the portfolio design, and of course that elusive and much-prized attribute: "creativity."
Before we get started, we thought we would take this opportunity to present our top tips for designing your own portfolio:
- File Size: By now, you should know better than to send a file that's too large. What exactly that means varies from situation to situation but as a guideline, Brazilian architect Gabriel Kogan recommends keeping the file size below 15MB.
- Typos & Mistakes: If the language of your portfolio isn't your native language, turn to online communities or ask someone to proofread it.
- Length & Content: Portfolios are time-consuming to put together, so it can be tempting to try to produce a "one size fits all" version. This is a mistake. Approaching a firm requires different information to presenting your work in an interview, so you should ideally have (at least) a two-page version of your portfolio for applications and a longer version for interviews. Ideally, this will also be supplemented by an online version of your portfolio. You may even consider tailoring your portfolio to each individual practice you apply to.
- Creativity: While creativity is important in a portfolio, it can't be at the expense of the work the portfolio is meant to be showcasing.
- Image Selection: Find the right balance between different types of image; it's good to demonstrate that you can produce technical detail drawings, for example, but they're not much to look at, so one or two key examples is plenty. Similarly, while photorealistic renders are impressive, they need to be complemented by more architectural representations to show your true skill as a designer.
- Layout: Avoid clutter and don't be afraid of white space. If you use little white space, ensure your layout is clearly structured so that the portfolio's contents are easy to absorb.
- Details: Often, the strength of a graphic design lies in small details. Use certain layout rules consistently and it will give your portfolio a sense of cohesion.
Gregory Barber
关于设计:“我的目的是让它尽可能地简洁,并且能够让人感同身受,所以使用了许多轴侧图和全画幅模型的透视照片,就是为了让人们一眼就能看到整个故事。”——Gregory
推荐理由:Gregory对图像、图纸以及文字的选择和组合完全体现了他的意图:一眼就能看到整个故事。图纸与图像的叠加方式将它们统一在一起,形成了一种精神上的融合,相互增强,相互说明。
About the design: “I aim to make it as simple and immersive as possible with many axon drawings and full bleed model perspective photos that allow me to tell a story in just one glance.” - Gregory
Why we like it: Gregory’s selection and combination of images, drawings, and text does exactly what he intended: tell a story at a glance. The way that drawings are overlaid onto images unites them into one mental bite, and they enhance and clarify each other.
Vingan Razvan
推荐理由:该作品集中的每个设计都有完整的设计图:各种按比例的平面、剖面、立面以及图表。整洁一致的布局使得建筑设计的内容自成一脉。
Why we like it: Each design in this portfolio is presented with a full set of design images: plans at a number of scales, sections, elevations, and diagrams. Neatly and consistently laid out, this one really lets the architecture speak for itself.
Wilmer Coronado Castillo
关于设计:“很多时候好奇心支配着我们的生活。只要你下定决定打开盒子,就会发现即使是一些涂鸦也可以最终组合成一个最佳的想法。从一个充满趣味性的盒子里拿出几个项目,人们立刻就能认出它的工作风格。”——Wilmer
推荐理由:在网络世界里,创建一个只在实际发送时才有效的作品集是很需要勇气的,而且是用纸盒,而不是信封。在这种情况下,我们认为勇敢的尝试是值得的,对方绝对没有理由拒绝这份作品集。
About the design: “You know that much of the time, curiosity dominates our lives. As long as you decide to open the box, you will find scribbles that ended up being part of my best ideas... Starting from an intriguing-looking box that includes a few projects, they immediately make recognizable a working style.” - Wilmer
Why we like it: In an online world, it’s brave to create a portfolio that only works when sent physically—and in a parcel rather than an envelope, no less. In this case, we think that bravery pays off, and no architect will forget receiving this portfolio.
Derek Pirozzi
关于设计:“作品集的目的是保持所有信息的直接和连贯。应当在每个作品内都试图创造具有对应信息的独创的综合内容。”——Derek
推荐理由:建筑师经常被建议在图纸展示中保持最少地文本。但是当你有太多话要说的时候,你会怎么做呢?这是一个很好的例子,它使用了大量的文本,同时却没有转移视觉上的注意力。
About the design: “The intent of this portfolio was to keep all information direct and cohesive. Each portfolio spread seeks to create separate comprehensive spreads which are geared towards 1 proposal per spread.” - Derek
Why we like it: Architects are often advised to keep text to a minimum in their graphic presentation. But what do you do when you’ve simply got too much to say? This is a great example of a portfolio that uses a lot of text, but does so without taking focus away from the visuals.
Rina Ben Shimol
关于设计:“白色至上。”——Rina
推荐理由:这份网络作品集使用了一个简单的概念,一种完美的极简主义色彩,并通过结论注入了强烈的特征。
About the design: “White on white.” - Rina
Why we like it: This online portfolio takes a simple concept—a perfect minimalist color palette—and sees it through to its conclusion to instill a strong identity.
Cristóbal Riffo
推荐理由:该作品集的布局非常严谨:几乎每页都只有一张图片。任何如页码和项目标题之类的辅助信息都以绝对最小的尺寸显示,体现出了作品的优点。作品集简洁、干净、引人注目。
Why we like it: The layout of this portfolio is incredibly strict: in almost all cases, there is exactly one image per page. Any auxiliary information, such as page numbers and project titles, is shown at an absolutely minimal size to bring out the strength of the work. The portfolio is simple, clean, and striking.
Miguel Roig Burgal
关于设计:“我想展示自己理解和设计建筑的方式,这就是为什么我的作品集非常简约,没有太多的信息和图纸,因为我认为这些已足以表达整个项目。从排版到图片和方案的位置,整个作品集都非常地轻巧、优雅,准确地反映了我的设计特点。”——Miguel
推荐理由:该设计最引人注目的地方之一是每张图片都被裁剪到内容的边缘,而不仅仅只是简单的矩形。在效果图中没有天空,随着平面和图表方向的变化,每一页都创造出灵活有趣并且留白的空间。
About the design: “I wanted to show my way of seeing and doing architecture, that's why I consider my portfolio very minimalistic, without too much information and drawings, only the ones I consider enough to explain the projects. From the typography to the position of the images and schemes, the whole portfolio is very light and elegant which its an accurate reflection of me.” - Miguel
Why we like it: One of the most striking things about this design is the way each image is cropped to the edge of its content rather than to a simple rectangle. There are no skies in the renderings, which along with the orientation of plans and diagrams creates an interesting and flexible white space that changes with every page.
Li Dai
推荐理由:该作品集全面展示了Li Dai的能力范围,除了通常的渲染和绘图,还包括图示、图表甚至是漫画。重要的是,每个新项目都以严格一致的标题布局来展示,为不同的表现风格提供了共同的主题。
Why we like it: This portfolio shows the full extent of Li Dai’s range, including diagrams, graphs and even comics in addition to the usual renders and drawings. Importantly, each new project is announced with a strict and consistent title page layout, giving structure to what would otherwise be a cacophony of different presentation styles.
Maël Barbe
关于设计:“通过这种作品集排版,项目的特点得到了强化并营造出良好的氛围。作品集通过强烈的对比,展示出一种感官的、激进的建筑设计。”——Maël
推荐理由:作品集的单色表现和高度对比融合了许多不同的表现技术,包括素描和模型照片。
About the design: “Through this approach the character of the projects is intensified and releases the essence of the desired atmosphere. It reveals a sensory and radical architecture by the play of a strong contrast.” - Maël
Why we like it: The monochrome and highly contrasting design of this portfolio unifies a number of different presentation techniques, including sketches and model photos.
Benjamin Wichman
关于设计:“作品集的布局融合了大型几何字体的平面设计,触感意象、手工技艺以及叙述过程的拟真设计。”——本杰明
推荐理由:正如预期的那样,这个有点像剪贴簿的独特设计不仅仅展示了设计的结果,而且展示了设计的过程,展示了本杰明对自己作品的思考。
About the design: “This portfolio layout blends the flat design of large geometric typefaces and full bleeds with the skeuomorphism of tactile imagery, championing handcraft and the narrative of process.” - Benjamin
Why we like it: As intended, this unique design showcases the process of design and not just its outcome, coming across a little as a kind of design scrapbook that shows how Benjamin thinks through his work.
Eytan Levi
关于设计:“经过几次作品集的审核,我发现大片留白可以增强图片和图纸的效果。这是我在设计这份作品集时使用的主要指导原则。每个项目开始时的圆形图像都提醒着读者,他正在看着前所未有的东西。”——Eytan
推荐理由:这份作品集中的留白十分大胆。因此,每一个图像都显得珍贵而重要。出色的标题页布局同时也体现出必不可少的组织层次。
About the design: “After a few portfolio trials, I found out that having a lot of white space enhances and strengthens pictures and drawings. This is the main guideline I used while creating this portfolio. The circle image at the beginning of each project reminds the reader he is looking at something new.” - Eytan
Why we like it: Almost paradoxically, the use of white space in this portfolio is somewhat brave. Each image thus appears precious and important. The excellent layout of the title pages brings a crucial level of organization.
Aayush Jindal
推荐理由:该作品集的关键是图片的选择:阿尤什创造的强烈渲染效果非常引人注目,因为大图片至少占据了一半的位置。
Why we like it: The key to this portfolio is image selection: Aayush’s flair for dramatic renders is put in the spotlight thanks to large images that take up at least half of an entire spread.
Lazar Belic
关于设计:“我的作品集只包含了一个项目,和对它背后的设计方法的阐述。项目从概念和背景的文本描述开始,结合了一些信息、关键词以及可视化内容。作品集的展示具有层次结构:包括场地介绍、总体体量、结构、空间组织、室内以及细节。这样,仅一个项目就涵盖了不同的规模和主题。”——Lazar
推荐理由:当你觉得有一个可以展示所能提供的最好的东西的设计时,这会是最好的展示方法。事实上,该作品集甚至有点像一个媒体发布,在尽可能短的时间内展示了一个完整的项目。
About the design: “My portfolio contains only one project, explaining the design methodology behind it. The project starts with the textual description of concept and context, accompanied with the general info, keywords and the visualization. There is hierarchical organization of the presentation: introduction to site, general massing, structure, space organization, interiors and details. In this way, one project covers different scales and topics.” - Lazar
Why we like it: When you have one design which you feel showcases the best of everything you have to offer, there’s no better way to present it than this. In fact, the portfolio even feels a little like a media release, giving a complete look at the project in as little time as possible.
Thea Mihu
关于设计:“我使用了A4页面的布局,并在InDesign中绘制了一个模板布局来制作大部分的内容,例如将主要的对象集中到一个正方形中。至于绘图,我喜欢用颜色来强调渲染、平面、图表以及技术细节的主要特点。”——Thea
推荐理由:这是一个使用颜色来为作品带来审美认同的很好的例子。
About the design: “I worked with a A4 page size layout and had a templet layout drawn in InDesign, which I used for most spreads, for example focusing the main subject into a square. As for graphics, I like to use colour to emphasise the main features of the exposed renders/plans/diagrams/technical details.” - Thea
Why we like it: This is a great example of using color to bring an aesthetic identity to a collection of work.
Bastian Marzoli
关于设计:“处于一个作品集主要出现在屏幕上的时代,对我来说更合乎逻辑的方式是设计一个简单而有趣的网站。作品集的每个类别都使用了的独特字母,使我在保持导航菜单简洁的同时增加了网站的神秘感。这种几乎是四处走走就能发现新地方的想法对于我来说是十分重要的,就像是创造了一段充满惊喜的旅程。我设计了不同的菜单和动画,从而使得访问者在发现作品的同时也能享受到轻松娱乐。”——Bastian
推荐理由:这个有趣在线作品集呈现得非常漂亮。虽然设计提供了所需的神秘感,但也体现了一个干净的、有吸引力的布局。
About the design: “In an age when portfolios are to be seen mainly on a screen, the more logical way for me was to design mine in the shape of a simple and playful website. The use of one unique letter for each category of my portfolio allowed me to keep the navigation menu very simple while adding a sense of mystery to the website... This idea of a new place that you have to discover almost by wandering around was important to me, and I designed the different menus and animations in order to create a journey full of surprises, thus entertaining the visitor while letting him discover my work.” - Bastian
Why we like it: This playful and intriguing online portfolio is beautifully presented. While the design certainly provides the desired mystique, it also makes for a clean and attractive layout.
Keyhan Khaki
推荐理由:虽然每张图片都填满了给定的空间,但在每张图片上使用简单的四分方式确保了空间不会感到拥挤。作品集的设计完善了建筑本身,并使整个作品具有强烈地、沉思地感觉。
Why we like it: While each image fills the space that it is given, the simple four-way split used on each spread ensures that the space doesn’t feel over-full. The design of the portfolio complements the architecture itself to give the whole document a strong, brooding feel.
Pilar Ribot Reus
关于设计:“基于简洁,只表现出强烈并有代表性的图像。页面的留白也成为这些图像的一部分。”——Pilar
推荐理由:这是另一个大胆使用留白的例子,该设计考虑了整个页面的组成,并完美地进行了组合。
About the design: “Based on simplicity, where only strong and representative images are shown. The blank of the page becomes part of these images.” - Pilar
Why we like it: Another example with a brave use of white space, this design considers the composition of whole pages and executes these compositions beautifully.
