What to put in my Interior Architecture/Design portfolio?
Hi all... In my mid 20's currently living in London, however will be moving back to Melbourne to live and study Interior Design or Interior Architecture. I want to start working on my portfolio, but am VERY lost as to what I should put in it? Uni's seem very broad on requirements (show creativity!) - should there mainly be perspectives and elevations of interiors? should I combine ideas on exteriors as well? Do you focus on one idea from different angles or a bunch of different concepts? Do you include random sketches as well? photos of inspirational buildings? Any clarification would be appreciated.... Also, do you know if, as a mature student, my work would need to be a higher level then potential students straight from High school? Does anyone know of any great differences between a degree in Interior Architecture as opposed to a degree in Interior Design? And lastly, can anyone recommend the better universities in Melbourne for Int. Design and Architecture? Thank you so much for your help....

- The key to any portfolio to show to a school for acceptance is to show your ability to learn. It is not always good to show all your best work. Random sketches are always good to show as a separate piece in the portfolio. Most architectural and interior schools will take someone who can sketch very well despite their lack of knowledge in the field. Good Luck.
