An effective oral presentation of a studio project begins with the general and proceeds toward the specific.
1 State the design problem assigned.
2 Discuss the values, attitude, and approach you brought to the design problem.
3 Describe your design process and the major discoveries and ideas you encountered along the way.
4 State the parti, or unifying concept, that emerged from your process. Illustrate this with a simple diagram.
5 Present your drawings (plans, sections, elevations, and vignettes) and models, always describing them in relationship to the parti.
6 Perform a modest and confident self-critique.
Never begin a presentation by saying, “Well, you go in the front door here” unless your goal is to put your audience to sleep.
