| Summary | This core course, taken in the second semester of M.Arch2, requires students to curate the outcomes of academic work undertaken during the programme and present it in the form of an integrated academic portfolio that demonstrates compliance with the ARB Part 2 criteria. Various forms of presentation (drawings, installations, printed books /reports, models, photographs, films, digital material, etc) and any other evidence of work, which has been assessed as part of the programme leading to an award of Part 2, will be represented in the portfolio.
In order to progress to this course students should have passed their first year design studios, Architectural Technology Research, Studies in Contemporary Architectural Theory and their 2nd year 1st semester Design studios, as well as Architectural Management, Practice and Law.

| Course description |
The assembly of the portfolio is often given inadequate attention by students of architecture: by thematising it, this module establishes it as a design issue in its own right. Emphasis is placed upon the eloquence of the total presentation, as well as upon the appropriateness of the use of specific representational forms and the skill demonstrated in their deployment. The portfolio is submitted in electronic format, in accordance with a template as specified in the module brief issued to students.
