Architecture presentation might not be the core of the project, but it surely influences the viewer– i.e., the jurors, who will not spend more than half an hour reviewing a student’s work with often no knowledge of their process throughout the semester.
Presentations can also be considered as an indicator of your visualization skills and aesthetic sense as a designer, which gives the reviewer an impression at first glance.
Visual communication and presentation are necessary skills for every architect. Here are some tips to improve your portfolio & sheet presentations!
1. Spend time on branding
Branding is important to market yourself as an architect! Make sure you’re spending time on things that may seem arbitrary, like your logo, and various other collaterals.
2. Focus on formatting
It’s important to maintain goodformatting, to ensure that your sheets look professional. Such sheets always give off a good impression and automatically help you level up.
3. Create modular sheets
Don’t have a lot of time to spend composing your sheets? Go modular! Maintain a grid layout, which will help you quickly create professional and clean-looking sheets.
4. Follow a theme throughout
A good theme helps make your portfolio curation easier. Whether it’s a color theme or a layout theme, it will make your portfolio cohesive and reflect attention to detail.
5. Curate a Professional portfolio
Understand what your employer is looking for, and curate your portfolio accordingly. Present relevant projects at the start to instantly grab the attention of the viewer and keep them interested.
