File Management Template

A simple folder structure to bring order to your digital chaos.

Juggling deadlines, PDFs, and render exports? It’s easy for your files to become a mess. This system gives you a clean, adaptable framework for managing architecture school and personal projects with clarity.

Designed to reduce friction and save time, this structure helps you stay focused on the work — not on hunting down files called “final_final_v3.dwg.”

What’s included:

• 3 structured folder trees: Personal, University, and Projects
• 4 layers of preset subfolders for drawing sets, models, references, etc.
• A 1-page PDF guide for file naming conventions using the DRAS system (Date, Revision, Author, Subject)

Perfect for:
Architecture students and emerging designers who want to create a reliable, reusable system for their digital workspace.

Set it up once, let it work in the background every semester.
