This is so helpful! I was super curious as to what you'd say. I'm a student at Georgia Tech, and I've been trained to stay completely out of the first person in presentations or when discussing work at all. The only exceptions would be if the origin of the concept was based on an anecdote or some other similar condition or if it's post presentation and the jury is asking about our specific personal decisions on things. I think it's so important that architects and architecture students present the project rather than themselves. It is, after all, a project presentation, not an introduction. While the jury may not necessarily trust you, especially as a student, they are comfortable with drawings and concrete, tangible information. If the project is presented in terms of the work rather than the creator, the feedback is always better. Thank you for sharing this with everyone! Your channel is fantastic!

this is fantastic man. it's funny because I have had professors suggest both methods of explaining a project. one where you own your ideas with complete confidence and the other, treating the design more impersonally. I like that you kind of debunk the first option because it's true that the projects completed for school are all hypothetical

thank you this video was actually helpful although i was hoping there would be more words. can you make a video on a presentation steps, how to start explaining the design process and relating it to the final outcome. many times its hard to verbally explain the bridge between the two.

Yeah! Thanks for the feedback. You're right, that is pretty difficult, because you spend a lot of time thinking of ideas and concepts and translating them into buildings and drawings. Those don't necessarily then translate into words very well. But I have a lot of thoughts on this. Expect to see a video from me soon! You asked about presentation steps... Off the top of my head, I would invite you to make sure you have your first sentence worked out. I had to figure that out doing these videos. I always start by saying firmly, "What's up, I'm Drew Paul Bell and today what I want to talk about is..." It sounds kind of corny, BUT it is a firm beginning and that first impression determines if you come across as confident or weak. You might say, "Good afternoon, I am Rawaa Abdulkarim and what jumped out at me when I went to this site the first time was..." It sounds a lot better than "um, well, my name is Drew, and uh, So here is the site, it's on the corner of X and Y. And I really liked the way people flowed around the--blah blah blah..." Don't meander into the presentation like a limp handshake. When you take the first step confidentially, it becomes much easier for people to follow you on the subsequent steps. Expect more in upcoming videos, but that simple step will go a long way. Thanks again for the feedback! dpb

I always want to do architecture but I'm not a very confident person so all these presentations seem scary to me. Now I'm hesitating between architecture and business.

+Thomas Fridrich I'm in the same boat. Presenting always looks so intimidating. The way i make myself go up there and do the presentation is by thinking of this presentation as a learning experience and each time I present ill get better and I've notice that after i get half way into the presentation I get conformable and the words just flow out however i still get nervous and stressed about the presentation but not as much. You should look at presenting as a positive since you will learn and do better next time. Hope this will help you.

In business (and architecture is a business) you will be presenting to people: colleages, clients, managers, boards, etc ALL THE TIME. Scary? Best way to overcome is do a course in presenting, join an acting club, do public speaking at every opportunity. Key thing> what does your audience want to know?
