5 Tips for Creating Killer Architecture Project PPT - Landtechindia
1) Size and Orientation
Most of the time your professors restrict you to a specific board size and number of boards. If that is the case then you need to confirm if your boards should be presented in Landscape or Portrait orientation. You, also, need to decide if you will be presenting your board’s side by side as one big board, one poster of an equivalent size, or as separate boards that come in sequence.
2) Layout
Now, that you have a base to work on you need start planning the layout of your boards or poster:
•If you are presenting hand drawings then you can do prior planning on one or more A4 paper sheets for example. Try to make an accurate estimation of the space needed per each drawing and the buffering space you would like to leave around each.
3) Placement and Zoning
Think of the way you would like the viewers to circulate through your presentation, what you would like them to see first, how they would best understand your project. For example, you may start by brief site analysis, then move to the concept statement and its illustrative sketches if needed.
4) Background
It is called “background” for a reason. It should be a platform to feature your drawings as the main focus, clear of any distractions. Some students use faded renderings of their own projects as background, but this can be seriously diverting.
5) Visual Hierarchy
What is your strongest point, the highlight of your project? Grab the attention from far away with that. There are many ways to grab the attention to a specific drawing, using color or size. For example, if the main idea is in your cross-section, you can present it in large scale with full hue colors, against black and white plan drawings. That is mixing between two of the color presentation techniques mentioned in the previous point to get emphasis by contrast.
