Project Presentation Checklist
Essential checklist for presenting a single architecture project. Ensure your drawings, images, and presentation are professionally prepared and ready for review.
Project Details
Complete set of architectural drawings including plans, sections, elevations, and 3D views.
Site Plan
Include site plan showing building location, surrounding context, landscape, and access points.
Floor Plans (All Levels)
Provide complete floor plans for all levels with room labels, dimensions, and furniture layout.
Sections
Show building sections revealing vertical relationships and spatial qualities.
Elevations (All Sides)
Include all building elevations showing materials, windows, heights, and architectural features.
Perspectives
Provide compelling 3D perspectives showing key spaces and exterior views.
Axonometric/Isometric
Include axonometric drawing to show spatial relationships and construction logic.
Detail Drawings
Add key construction details, wall sections, or material junctions at appropriate scale.
Concept Diagrams
Show design concept and parti diagrams explaining your design thinking.
Image Quality
High-quality images with proper resolution, rendering, and visual consistency.
Resolution (DPI)
Ensure all images are at least 150 DPI for digital presentation, 300 DPI for printing.
Rendering Quality
High-quality 3D renders with proper lighting, materials, and post-processing.
Color Harmony
Consistent color palette throughout all drawings and visualizations.
Line Weights
Proper CAD line weights: bold for cut elements, medium for visible, thin for hidden.
Image Format
Save in appropriate formats: PDF for documents, high-res JPG for renders, PNG for diagrams.
Visual Consistency
All drawings maintain consistent graphic style and presentation approach.
Layout & Presentation
Professional layout with proper annotations, labels, scales, and clear hierarchy.
Project Title
Clear, compelling project title that captures the design essence.
Labels & North Arrow
All plans include north arrow, and spaces are clearly labeled with room names.
Scale & Dimensions
Include graphic scale bars and key dimensions on all technical drawings.
Annotations
Add clear annotations for materials, construction notes, and design features.
Typography
Consistent, professional fonts with clear hierarchy (titles, subtitles, body text).
Grid System
Use consistent grid layout for organizing drawings and text on presentation boards.
White Space
Adequate white space around elements - avoid overcrowding the presentation.
Spelling & Grammar
Proofread all text thoroughly for any spelling or grammatical errors.
Project Information
Include basic project info: location, area, program type, year/semester.
Space Planning
Functional space organization with proper circulation, room relationships, and dimensions.
Functional Zones
Clear organization of spaces into functional zones (public, private, service areas).
Circulation
Efficient circulation paths with appropriate corridor widths and clear flow.
Room Proportions
Appropriate room sizes and proportions for their intended functions.
Adjacencies
Logical room adjacencies - spaces that should be connected are placed together.
Door Swings
Door swings are shown and positioned correctly for circulation and function.
Furniture Layout
Furniture placement demonstrates realistic and functional use of space.
Natural Light
Window placement maximizes natural lighting for key spaces.
Building Code Compliance
Egress, accessibility, and basic code requirements are addressed in the design.
Structural Logic
Column grid and structural system are rational and clearly expressed in plans.
