2. The Architecture Student Blog
The Architecture Student Blog is an online community dedicated to showcasing the work of aspiring architects from the UK to their thousands of followers (almost 90k on Instagram!) As well as showcasing your work they will also interview you about what inspired the piece.
This is a great idea in terms of getting recognition from architects across the nation (and even the world!) and putting your name out there too! If this is something you would love to do, then their website tells you exactly what you need to do.
Good luck!
