NOTE 11:
INTRO TO PRESENTATION DRAWING

1 – Representing Architecture
? Must use graphics and text to
represent your design idea and
clearly communicate the details
and essential aspects of the
scheme.
? Quality is better than quantity
as quantity can lead to
confusion
? Bring your work together as a
unified selection of drawings
with a format, scale and style
that work together to create a
logical and comprehensive view
of the project.
? Different graphic styles and
inconsistencies can cause a lack
of clarity and confusion.

2 – Structure
? Before you start creating your
presentation boards, take a
moment to organise your work.
What are you trying to convey?
What drawings / images do you
have to show as part of your
criteria? What are the key
elements in your design that you
would like to portray?
? Collect together the information
– even list out all the images to
be included and what text you
would like to put it, then you
can start planning the structure
of your boards..

3 – Orientation, setting and size
? Landscape or portrait?
? Board size
? Sequence of board

4 – Layout of the architecture presentation
board
? Consider using a grid to help you organise the visual elements on your board
? The grid can include space for title bars, page numbers, other information that
needs to appear on each board.
Story board

4 – Hierarchy
? Consider the visual hierarchy
? You will want some of your images to receive more visual attention than others, in
order to communicate your idea. You can do this by giving certain images more
space in the grid than others.

4 – Hierarchy
Visual hierarchy can be created through
proportion

4 – Hierarchy
Structure and order can be determined by size
and shape

4 – Layout essential
? sketching out your layout of your architecture presentation board before you start,
so you can get an idea of the possible configurations you can use and what might
work best
? Make sure you plan your board so that you can see the relationship between the
drawings
? Make sure every instance of a plan is of the same orientation (north point always in
same place)
? When showing plans and elevations/sections together, it is beneficial if they are of
the same scale and in line
? Don’t forget to explore relationships between each board, and how they will be
read together

5 – Background
? Try to keep your background
plain, unless it is featuring one of
your key images
? A white background will make
your images and text stand out
and look professional
? The information comes across
well, and the background makes
the visuals pop of the page

6 – What to include in your architecture
presentation board
? Usually the basics will include floor plans, and elevations, maybe some
sections. Some sort of perspective view, 3d drawing, render.
? Then maybe a focus on some of the key features of your design, perhaps
with brief sentences explaining if required.
? Hand drawings and development work can be good to include if
relevant/required.

7 – Information – Title, story, content
? Do you need to have a title bar? If so, consider a consistent title bar
throughout your boards, giving a sense of professionalism, and orderliness.
? Don’t forget to include your details – name, title of project etc and whatever
else is applicable.

8 – Text
? Its tempting to get carried away with multiple fonts but please, don’t! Stick
to one font, maximum of two.
? Use font sizes to create a hierarchy on the board – e.g. large font for your
titles, a bit smaller for subtitles and standard size for the remainder of your
content.
? Make sure your chosen font and size is readable!

9 – Colour
? The standard architectural
style – particularly for
students appears to be
black white and grey but
sometimes its good to
break out and use a bit of
colour

10 – Some Extra Tips
? Use negative space. Don’t fill your
board with useless information, use
the negative space to set off your
design and make it stand out.
? Use a program you know. The last
thing you need to be doing is
learning a whole new software
program whilst in the panic of
putting your boards together.
