Mid-reviews are coming up. Don't forget these three things
Yale School of Architecture
You're short on time. I know. This is a quick one. As you approach your mid-review, keep these three things in mind:
- The jury is there to help you grow and get better. You're not there to prove anything to anyone, but rather to identify what you can work on and develop. Let this reduce the stigma around your presentation. Check out How to Face a Jury in Architecture School if you want to dive deeper.
- Arguing isn't always the answer. It's great to stand up for our convictions as a designers, however, sometimes we need to relent and take on another way of seeing something. Go into your presentation ready to defend your idea, but also have an open mind and be willing to receive a viewpoint counter to your own. In the end, you are the judge for what you allow to take root and what you don't. Check out Better Critics Than Crickets for a closer exploration.
- Take time to rehearse your presentation. We all need to organize our thoughts. Even Steve Jobs rehearsed. This doesn't have to be a drawn out process, but merely a couple of moments to flesh out your main points. The result will be a fruitful and engaging discussion. For more, take a look at The Architecture Student's Presentation Roadmap.
Good luck on the review!
