presentation day

Please note we will commence at 9:30 sharp, whoever is first please pin up and be ready to start at 9:30. We have 2 sides of the studio space for pinning up so as soon as one is finished on one side the next person can pin up and be ready to go while we do the other crit. Please be organised amongst yourself to assist with the smooth flow of the day. we are aiming to finish around 3:30-4:00pm latest.
Basically there is 15 minutes per person in total, so about 6 minutes max for verbal presentation and about 9-10 minutes for feedback and discussion. Can I please request someone time the sessions so we dont go off track.

some tips for  DO's and DON'T's for the presentation:

DONT:

1. dont have big titles for the project, with student number and tutor name. keep it small to the side, just name of project on front page and student number small bottom right corner of each page.

2. dont scatter drawings all over the pages randomly. line them up neatly

3. dont have large precedent images, if any. keep them small and together

4. dont have 3D views from mid air. always from person level height

5. dont have random and illogical concept diagrams. keep them to exactly what needs to describe your design

6. dont generate 2D elevations and sections directly from sketchup or Revit. make sure you draw over them to make them look like a proper architectural drawing

7. dont put shadows on plans

8. do not use any standard furniture, draw it yourself as we have discussed throughout the studio

9. do not put borders around pages
10. dont feel nervous (if possible!) the jury have done many crits before and are people I know and have selected because of their experience, insights and strength of feedback so you will benefit greatly from their input. 

DO

1. for a standard across the studio all panels are to be A1 portrait

2. do have neat titles for drawings, around 10 -12 font.

3. do have a clear and logical progression of drawings from overall context, to concept, to plans, elevations and sections.

4.do have clear and legible drawings that make sense
5. do keep it neat and simple
6. do your best!

good luck!
