<p>You should definitely include that, nic. It would definitely enhance your portfolio. I know various schools have their own different guidelines regarding portfolio composition. I think USC says you can include stuff like that but state the extent of your involvement. Other schools explicitly state that they don’t expect you to have such knowledge and shouldn’t include that kind of stuff…
…but you did this stuff on your own, etc. It would probably be the high point of your “career” and it won’t do any harm. When I applied to places like USC, WashU, IIT, etc, I had plans of a building I designed included in my pf, and I noted that there were many more I had done.
Some other schools also allow you to include building design but stipulate that you restrict it to 1 or 2 of such.</p>
<p>You should definitely include that. And include anything/everything that lends credence to the scope and depth of your creativity, as long as you remain within the guidelines of the school.</p>
