Shahab’s Architectural Portfolio
Client: Shahab
01. Project Overview
At Zora, we undertook the challenge of creating a professional architecture portfolio for Shahab, designed to showcase his extensive experience while meeting the specific requirements of Australian companies. Our focus was on highlighting Shahab’s versatility as both a designer and drafter, ensuring each project demonstrated his expertise.
By addressing these aspects, we crafted a portfolio that met Australian companies’ stringent requirements while showcasing Shahab’s diverse talents and growth potential in architecture.
02. Challanges
03. Solutions
•Understanding Market Demands
We aligned the portfolio with Australian companies’ expectations by highlighting Shahab’s capabilities as a draftsman, presenting specialized documents like plans, sections, and details with meticulous attention to detail to emphasize his proficiency in phase two documentation.
• Highlighting Versatility
We showcased Shahab’s resume and academic achievements in a way that not only highlighted his expertise as a draftsman but also positioned him as a capable designer. This dual approach ensured that Shahab had opportunities in multiple roles within architectural firms.
• Emphasizing Visual Hierarchy
We arranged high-quality images with special visual weight, ensuring a logical order on each page. The most important document on each page was emphasized through size, accent color, or other methods to increase its visual weight and draw the audience’s eye.
• Focusing on Visual and Structural Design
We prioritized readability and clarity with a neutral white background and used orange accents to highlight key elements, enhancing comprehension without overwhelming the design.
•Emphasizing Detailed Project Descriptions
We meticulously categorized and edited each project’s description to include Shahab’s role, project challenges, and approaches, providing a comprehensive understanding of his contributions and problem-solving skills.
•Showcasing a Multidimensional Personality
We highlighted Shahab’s well-rounded personality by including his architectural travel experiences, volunteer activities, articles, and magazine contributions, showcasing his ability to expand his worldview and develop unique skills.
•Creating a Professional Presence
To enhance Shahab’s visibility and credibility in the job market, we guided him in creating professional profiles on LinkedIn, Behance, and other specialized social networks.
While this minimalist approach may have initially appeared simplistic, we recognized its power to elevate Sepideh’s projects to their fullest potential. Our collaboration with Sepideh was marked by regular meetings and open dialogue, ensuring that every aspect of the portfolio reflected her passion for the duality of past and future.
In essence, our goal was not to impose our design vision onto Sepideh’s portfolio, but rather to serve as a conduit for her artistic expression, allowing her work to shine through with clarity and authenticity.
