Architecture Presentation Tips | 4 FUNDAMENTAL Principles
I'm sure you've seen instances where good projects get bad reviews because of poor presentations, and bad projects come alive because of a killer presentation.
In this video, I will be covering four key aspects of a compelling presentation that I always try to think about before I even sit down to put together my slides.

Do you have any other tried and tested presentation tips? Please share!!
I remember my professor telling us to talk about our project as if we were talking to his 8 year old son. We always were trying to use fancy jargon and terminologies. It makes sense. Not all jury members are architecture people.

I couldn't agree more! One of my pet peeves is people who constantly use archi speak!! I think being able to explain things simply and clearly is a real strength.
I think the fact that you've just reached 10k subs while most of your videos only have 2-3k views is a testament to the quality of your work and the efficiency with which you talk about your subject matter. This has been by farr my favorite channel to discover in 2021 and I hope you can continue to see sustained growth!!

Nice video and great tips! An old instructor once said word choice is very important as well - using "grand" instead of big, "cozy" instead of small. Basically using the positive version of words, and it will rub off on the critics.

I feel like all of the presentations I've made so far have been garbage mostly because I lacked the information and knowledge that you have shared with us today and because I've always have to come up with them the day or morning before the critique. This is something archi school doesn't really teach and I think your video is really doing a good job filling out that missing hole. Lookin forward to more videos on this topic!

Thank you! Yeah I think it's insane that architecture schools don't teach presentation techniques... and they're surprised when students don't nail the presentations...? Hmm 🤔
If there's one thing I know for sure it's that most of what you learn in architecture, you learn on the job!! Our design lecturer is always saying we still have some way to go in terms of presentation...and a 5 minute presentation I had to do for our joint online class 2 weeks ago proved that my communication skills still needed work. My concept was good (i feel happy about it and the lecturer commentef positively on it too during our sit-down critique) but I felt like my layouts didn't convey much, spent too much time on the concept too and not on my design drawings or it's functionality. What I'm learning will help with the final presentation though.😁 thank you✨
i learn so much more from you than most of my teachers its sad, please keep the great content!!

I've been wanting to become an architect since I was 8 yrs old and still waiting for architecture school over 8 years later. It's been shocking, I have not seen a single female architect youtuber until YOU! I get small scraps of female architect students and interior designers but it's nothing alike to a qualified professional or exact topic :) As much as I enjoy Llyan Austria pizzazz there NEEDS to be a massive acknowledgement that there's a new player on the board and diversity. You have not disappointed with your superb video quality and presentation 😉💯💕💕 So thank you xxxxx
