Nearing portfolio

Are you coping? Here are some tips you might find useful:

- make sure to get a good night's rest before your presentation: you want to be well-rested to answer questions well

- plan your time well so that you spend your time in the areas where it will have maximum impact

- don't rely on last-minute printing, rather design you presentation to allow for freehand work, paste-ups etc.

- indicate the north point on all drawings and models

- check the passports for outcomes/ assessment criteria - those are the things your examiners will look for

- ask friends to help you pin up and take down your work

- paste sheets together to save on pin-up time

- rehearse your verbal presentation, make cards with key-words or, even better, use your pin-up presentation to guide your presentation.

- Project 1: we want to see the making of the hub, the TECHNOLOGY is important

- Project 2: we want to see WHERE, in which CLIMATIC CONTEXT you have designed the artist retreat, how did the ARTIST'S character influence the design, how did you deal with the FUNCTIONS?

Project 3: how did you deal with the public and historic CONTEXT, show it!

- you may e mail me at morkelj@cput.ac.za if you have specific questions

Good luck!
