Airy architectural portfolio spreads
An architectural portfolio pairing white editorial spreads with fine line drawings, maps, sectional studies, exploded axonometrics, landscaped renders, and a colorful facade collage populated with cutout figures.
Build a spread system with small running headers, generous white margins, and a hierarchy that contrasts heavy display text with delicate technical drawings. Alternate dense explanatory spreads with quiet pairings of a narrow line illustration and a large atmospheric image; use aligned section stacks and exploded axonometrics to explain relationships. For a new subject, replace the buildings, site maps, and figures with subject-specific diagrams and imagery, retaining the pacing and restrained accent colors while increasing contrast for small labels.
