Communication

Opportunities for publicity and disseminating their work are essential for architects. This is a good test of graphical communication skills because images and text must be carefully considered in order to explain a complex project concisely, occasionally to assessors who may be unfamiliar with the project. At the end of the year, most schools put on an exhibition of student work. The end — of-year show is an important opportunity for students to gain experience in creating an exhibition. Both the design development process (sketchbooks, sketch designs, sketch models and analysis) and the finished product (final drawings, photographs of models and reports) will be included.
