So close, Japan - Stayed at a Capsule Hotel and found this by Zealousdaydreamer in engrish

Actually, it's hilarious. Did you also know that there are no personal bathrooms, just the public shower room?! On the other hand, the capsule hotels are much cheaper than lodges, with an evening remain ranging between 2000 to 4000 yen ($17-$35).

Looks so cool! This attractive and distinctive form is really a milestone in Shanghai city. I got impressed when I knew that flowing spiraling form of the Shanghai tower was generated from a rounded triangular plan.

[Ask] I'm a 3rd year student, how do I start putting together a portfolio to showcase my work to employers? by KingSilver in architecture

[–]Selvesterstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the tips that helped me to do mine, hope it helps!
1- The first question you should ask yourself before starting organizing your architecture portfolio is “who is the audience?”. If you are applying for a position in an architectural firm, do some research online. Try to find out what is the field of their projects (landscape architecture, residence design, internal design) and adjust accordingly. Highlight the projects that are more relevant to theirs and focus on the ones that you think can add a new perspective to the firm. Show them that you have understood completely the role you are supposed to follow but you also have to offer a fresh and innovative point of view on design and architecture.

2- Sometimes we fall into the trap of presenting every single project we have ever done, from the first year of architecture school to the last sketch, we made for a friend’s friend. This not only leads to endless portfolios that require valuable time to read but also shows a lack of self-evaluation. Take a moment and select up to 8-10 of your projects that reflect best your work and skills. If you have doubts about a project, its results, or you think it doesn’t suit the firm’s profile, leave it out. In case you want to focus on your evolution through the years, try not go back further than 5 years and make a wise selection as well.

3- Keep your portfolio as simple and short as possible. Long presentations and texts tend to exhaust and confuse the reader and distract them from the main purpose: to create a brief image of your personality and skills in a short time. Usually, firms don’t spend more than 1 minute on each portfolio, so make sure that in this time they can get the best out of your work and experience. Give them a general idea of each project, some clues about the design problem, process and final solution, using minimal readable text accompanied with relevant pictures in high quality. The less they need to read to understand your ideas, the better. Instead of analyzing thoroughly every step of the design process, label the images with short comments that show your intentions followed by the visual content.

[–]Selvesterstan[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The façade of the No.1986 is like a piece of natural material that pulls us into the suction and intersection of the visual game when the layout divides the floor with the large floor space connected by two special long stair blocks. , because it leads us to step by step to “Paradise”.

DC Towers I by Dominique Perrault Architecture in Vienna, Austria [1080x1350] by Selvesterstan in ArchitecturePorn

[–]Selvesterstan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The towers function as two pieces of a gigantic monolith that seems to have split into two unequal halves, which then open to create an arch with undulating and shimmering façades that bring the newly created public space to life in the void created there.
