I am a civil engineer and I have been working in a landscaping %26amp; Irrigation company in Dubai for 1 year. Now I want to apply for master of landscaping architecture. I found some universities offer M.L.A for students graduated in other majors. I have to submit a portfolio. I got some oil paintings, photographs and some small 3D Landscape designed by software (Realtime Landscaping pro3). Are these enough for a portfolio? I don鈥檛 know what do universities expect my portfolio to be?|||I%26#039;m in a BLA course 4th year right now but we%26#039;re pretty close to the MLA%26#039;s so I%26#039;ve gotten to peek at their experience and rarely portfolios. The things you have so far are excellent, and it%26#039;s very good to have a variety (showcase a few of your best instead of a lot of one thing). If you have photos of your previous landscaping projects in Dubai that would be great too.
The website for my university describes the portfolio similarly to the BLA program, so I got in including artwork, and I also put in a Musical Arrangement I wrote on the computer. I%26#039;ve heard of research papers or well written essays being a good thing, or photographs of other creative things like models. The university you are applying to should have a website with some description of what they%26#039;re expecting.
