Section 3of fourReading the evidence

What client lists, references, portfolios and photographs can and cannot show a practice. The entries are listed by phase of the project, then in the order they were revised.

4 entries, revised between 26/11/2025 and 22/01/2026.

How the section is ordered

  • An entry belongs to one phase: the work of that phase is what decides it.
  • The share column reads the section, not the project: it shows how much of this section a phase carries.
  • The order inside a phase is the date of the last revision, newest last.

A design practice portfolio does not publish the constraints that shaped each project, and the published photographs do not carry the plan.
