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!!
WOW thank you so much!! Making videos is fun but it's easy to get buried in a sea of new talented CZcams channels, so.. That's really great to hear and really means a lot. 😊
I am a architecture student in Taiwan. Your channel benefit me so much. A lot of useful concepts and the high quality just make me feel satisfied. Very appreciate. cheers.
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.
Ahhhh yeah that's really great advice.. These little details matter! I also try to be conscious about using positive reinforcement during discussions, like "that's interesting and..." instead of "that's interesting but..."
The quality of information and video production. Really deserve more credit on this and as an architecture student how did you find the time in a day to do this 🤯
I'm from Brazil, I have been living in USA, Florida. I love your videos and they're helping me a lot, as I'm an architect in Brazil and I'm getting my architect license here. Thank you!
I am not even an architecture student yet...but yet the happiness and relaxation I have right now by seeing your vedio being uploaded....ah! Can't express it through words!🥺😻 P.S I had a pretty rough day at school...but YOU INSPIRE ME not just to be an architect but to not give up!!!! thank you
Awww thank you and I'm sorry you had a rough day at school...!! I can't even imagine what school is like right now, but if my architecture videos makes you happy and relaxed, you should try to focus on that and build your days around that. I think the biggest blessing is finding passion for something at an early age :)
Hello! I'm studying architecture here in philippines and I wanted to say that I really love how you talk and explain those things. It's encourage me to study harder
Dami 3 days ago i had a jury the jurer gave me standing ovation and ask my batchmates to clap for me cause i first discuss my architect then elements i like, the sketches of how i reach to this composition, as a first year student it was very motivating im here to get more tips from you raise my bar even more from now on thanks for your wonderful videos ♥️from India
wow that's amazing!!! there's nothing more motivating than a standing ovation 😁keep sharpening those skills - sounds like you've got a good feel for it!!
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 🤔
everytime I learn something amazing from you. you are the teacher I never had. thank you so much for doing this and honestly how do you speak so beautifully? I am in absolute awe.
Few days ago I finished my senior design project defence I passed it well and this video helped me to successfully make perfect presentation thank you 🙏 you’re such inspiration girl 🔥🔥
Omg, I love to watch your videos, your sweet personality makes me feel very confy. I also like the humble, soothing way you explain your interesting projects. :)
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✨
Dami I am surprised, I loved the video, the way you express yourself so correct, everything was perfectly explained, I started my architecture career a year ago your video opened my head to improve my presentations I hope you keep uploading videos, since your channel was one of my best discoveries this 2021 I hope you do great on your CZcams channel, because it has very good and quality content, I hope you have success in everything you propose. Greetings from Argentina
Thank you for taking the time to break this down, really fascinating. I’m not an architect but I am a teacher and this is interesting to consider in my lesson prep.
thank you for the information >< i truly am happy to find this channel that explain about how to persentation :3 i wish you always healthy so you can teach us more, god bless you
한국에서 보고있습니다! ㅎㅎ 이 동영상 보고 구독했어요~☺ you got a new subscriber here👍🔥 I think I found your videos at just the right time! I'm a bad communicator and I really needed help desperate🤦♀️🤦♀️😅
안녕하세요~~ 첫번쩨 한국분 comment레서 반갑네요!!! 와조서 감사합니다 😊Well nobody's born a "good communicator", it takes lots of practice, observing others, and.. sometimes public humiliation 😁
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
Hey thanks, that's really great to hear!!! I always wished they taught presentations techniques in architecture school, so just trying to impart some of the tricks I learned 😊
Hahaha! I love the intro of your video and various iterations of yourself...very humorous and catchy...great wow factor. A lot of good tips, not just for the architectural world but really any complex presentation. Hopefully in the near future you can export your CAD files into some sort of VR software and offer a virtual walk through via your own avatar...that would be sweet!!
yes please make video of how you do your graphics. do you find yourself moving lines and images back and forth for minutes just to get the perfect alignment?
hahah i'm not proud of this but yes... I've probably wasted countless hours to get things to align perfectly. I was thinking of making a video on what you should and shouldn't spend time on so yeah that's a great idea. ^^
So when you begin a project like this, is the surveying data supplied to you, or is that something you'd have to go looking for at city hall, or something. And the reason I ask is because it seems like you'd need to do an awful lot of groundwork before you could even start concepting out. Anyhow, great work here. And congratulations on your win.
Thank you :) They give you a little bit of information about the site and the program, but 99% of it, we are supposed to gather on our own. You will have also a course on site analysis, which will help you create the foundation for some of this research. This is also how you would function in a real workplace - you have to dig around to find old drawings or visit the city's zoning map or climate data to understand your site, so it prepares you for that in some sense.
@@jwebstersmithii7459 Honestly research is my favourite part of the process and the more you do it, the more tangents you will have to develop your ideas.
This is probably overkill for me but I’m using this as a template for my design portfolio for my M.Arch application as someone with an undergrad degree in international relations 😅🤩
Just Discovered your Channel. I love your content so much. Can I ask what software do you use in your technical drawings, rendering, post-editing of photos, and your 'slide presentations'. I am currently a third year student and I want to improve my presentations.
I use Revit for ortho drawings (sometimes fix it up in illustrator), illustrator for diagrams, rhino-vray / revit-enscape for renderings, photoshop to touch up the rendered images, and indesign for the presentation layouts 😊
this comment won't mean much, but I just wanna thank you. I'm in my fourth year of archi school and I come back to this video whenever I need a refresher on presentation-making. Tysm (^^ゞ
Hey Sis , i'am currently a 12 th grade student in India , and I'm planning to take up architecture in future , I'm really interested in designing various structure's and I also make mini models of those too , but everywhere I've noticed only negatives of this course , is it really worth it !?
Hey Vishnu! Yes I personally like being an architect. I think if you strategize early, you can have a fulfilling / meaningful career in architecture, but I think architecture school is valuable on its own (whether or not you become an architect) because there's a lot of things it will teach you, that can help you go into a different direction if you choose.
I've built self designed Airports ,palaces , stadiums ,all with just playing cards , and I really love the way I plan and build it , but I'm not that good at drawing , can I become a successful architect without good drawing skills !?
You can expect something similar, but a much much simpler project brief and building (if even that). You will learn architectural concepts and develop the *ideas* building or building elements, but probably not a full scale building like the projects I'm showing here. First year is all about learning and failing - which is also why I didn't include my first year projects in here (because they were... S$#%.) 😂😂😂
Do you have any other tried and tested presentation tips? Please share!!

Much love from Montreal.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁I try to make the videos for everyone, just just architecture students.
Saw this on Creator on the Rise. Very informative even tho I m not studying architecture

Lollll I love the beginning!
Thanks for breaking down each section of the presentation it was helpfulul, also what programs did you use to render the interior office spaces?
Thank you and no problem! I used Rhino for the model and Vray for the rendering. 😊
I loved it! Specially the reaction of your jury at the end 😂🥲🤩🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great work! Congratulations I kinda want to know you are able to document your projects and in what softwares thank you.
Sure, I use revit, autocad, rhino, jndesign, photoshop and illustrator.

Is this kind of work something that I would expect when just starting architect school?
You can expect something similar, but a much much simpler project brief and building (if even that).
