About this template
The Industry — Architecture template is a sector CV laid out in two columns, set in Space Grotesk and Inter with JetBrains Mono annotations and a teal accent. Section headers read like drawing-sheet title blocks, while ruled gauges and dotted leaders evoke technical drafting — a rigour signal that registers instantly with practices that judge a CV the way they judge a competition board.
Who is it for?
It suits architects (RIBA, AIA, ARB, HMONP), urban planners, BIM coordinators and design-build project managers targeting premium practices (Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, BIG, OMA, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Snøhetta) and major engineering consultancies. Equally relevant for structural engineers applying to Arup, Buro Happold, Thornton Tomasetti, WSP, and for landscape-urbanists chasing public competitions.
How to use it
List projects in reverse-chronological order with client, gross floor area, construction cost and design stage (Concept, RIBA 2-4, Tender, Construction, Handover). The sidebar carries the software stack (Revit, ArchiCAD, Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, Vectorworks) and certifications (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, HQE, AIA, RIBA Part 3, ARB). For competition portfolios, lead with the competition name, year and ranking achieved.
Frequently asked questions
Does the teal accent survive black-and-white printing?
Yes. The teal hue (around #2A7D7D) renders as deep mid-grey in monochrome, preserving the visual hierarchy for printed submission boards still required by certain public competitions and licensing boards (ARB UK, NCARB US, Architects Registration Board AU).
How should I describe NDA-bound projects?
Describe by programme, scope and stage without naming the client: 'Adaptive reuse of a 22,000 sqm tertiary headquarters, BREEAM Outstanding target, Greater London'. This is the convention major practices and competition juries accept — they value scope precision over brand-name disclosure, and they verify timelines via planning portals.
Does it pass major practice ATS systems?
Yes. The two-column layout is rendered via CSS Grid but the PDF text layer flows linearly for Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse and SmartRecruiters. Software keywords (Revit, Rhino) are extracted cleanly, unaffected by the decorative gauges. Project metrics in the sidebar are also parsed without loss.
