68 Presentation
Presentation Presentation is an essential part of architectural design. Once an architect has organized and designed their forms the way they want them, they need to find a way to show them interestingly. Orthographic projections such as plans and sections are helpful for building the project, but selling the design first requires different types of images and diagrams. Renderings are great if the computer software is available, showing a building’s forms as a person would see them if it was complete. An abstract diagram can illustrate particular concepts though there are other ways to make these more transparent. The charcoal drawing on the right is a portrayal of the model below it, with emphasis on the model’s forms and the visible shadows on it. A creative, more artistic piece like this can illustrate a concept while creating an image perfect for presenting a design to a client or critic.
