What Does it take to understand a project. Being in a team competition our project must be presented non-verbally through a 8' by 8' kiosk. I have been surfing through the many prestigious march school web sites. Upon looking through there studio works it just added to my confusion. I want to understand the process or intellectual stimulus behind there creations. This leads me to believe that the answer is simply text. Any suggestions?
The answer is simplicity and graphic impact. Think about what makes you remember a place....landmarks, symbols, and icons. You need something that will immediately and simply associate your presentation to another referential object. A trope of some sort.
relationships between the parts to the whole, and the whole to the parts. this works at every scale i.e. macro-relationship of area to site to> micro-relationship of structural connection to structural system.
visual representations/diagrams that isolate a piece of the project/concept , with a very short/to the point text description.
it's hard to comment much more without knowing the type of project you have, but i would look at how co-op himmelblau always breaks down the projects into 3 or 4 really understandable 'chunks'...rem does the same thing... so anyone can instantly say 'ok, i get it' whether they agree with it or not.
good luck
