As a part of your application, you will also be expected to write a descriptive essay.

The essay should describe one of the projects displayed in your Design Portfolio. You should explain in it the meaning and significance of the project (urban/suburban/rural location) in the communicative space within which it is located. This demands (i) explaining its placement in the network of spatial relations of a given location, as well as (ii) its relevance to the tradition of architectural theory and history. Please do also point out any significant innovation introduced by your project and explain its nature and the difference from previous solutions and styles.

The essay must not exceed 1,000 words; the minimum length is 750 words. The first page of the essay must contain its title and the full name of the author. Concerning references and quotations, follow one of the major styles (APA, Chicago, Harvard Referencing, MLA). The essay must be submitted in PDF format to the IS (see step 7) 

Later, after the ARCHIP Admissions Committee evaluates the submitted materials, you may be asked to give an online interview (via Skype).
