Assembling Presentation Boards
A professional architectural presentation typically includes 3-5 boards (24×36 inches or A1) arranged in a logical sequence. Board 1: project context—site plan, site photos, program summary, and design concept diagram (parti). Board 2: floor plans at 1:100 or 1/8"=1'-0" with room labels, dimensions, and furniture layouts. Board 3: building sections and elevations showing materiality and proportion. Board 4: rendered perspectives—an exterior view establishing the building in its context and an interior view capturing the spatial experience of the key space (the double-height reading room). Board 5 (optional): environmental and structural diagrams, material palette, and sustainability metrics. Consistent graphic style—fonts, line weights, color palette—across all boards conveys professionalism.
