Presentation For Architecture

Description

An architect is a storyteller that unspools a story about life, either their own life or the client’s, through their architecture.  To be a good storyteller, a lot of experience and practice are necessary.
For any project, the architect goes through an iterative design development for a good narrative and presentation is one of the essential components for such process.
Every designer knows the importance of a presentation and its roles.
If you are a student of architecture or design, almost every moment is a battle to make a good presentation. A well-made presentation not only explains the design concept, but also becomes very useful when making the final panel of a project.
Damdi’s new publication, Presentation, contains the PPT slides and videos that were actually used by the featured architects, showcasing their tips and tricks. The publication features a wide variety of presentations, from a simple PPT of mere 10 slides to over 60. It also includes all the design processes involved and
comments notated on each slide, allowing readers to derive their own answers to a successful presentation.
The Presentation does more than just show a series of slides or list handy presentation tips, but demonstrates how the PPT is actually deployed in practice, as if readers are joined in the presentation room.

The ins and outs of creating an effective PowerPoint presentation are explored from the perspectives of eighteen international architecture and design offices, among them Casanova + Hernandez Architecten, modostudio, Diba Tensile Architecture, Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, Keiichi Hayashi, and b4 Architects. Comprising more than 1000 slides, plus a CD of nine presentations, it offers a comprehensive and diverse look at the essence of what makes such presentations successful. An architect is not only a professional with technical and artistic knowledge, but also a storyteller who must execute a performance that inspires the audience to dream along.
