Architecture Client Presentation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2018
- A behind-the-scenes look at a typical architecture client presentation for a residential project currently in design. I’ll show you the drawings, models, material samples and imagery I've developed for my clients to review at a recent meeting. Although I wasn’t able to sneak you in for the actual meeting (that’s been difficult to arrange with private clients) I’ve done the next best thing and that is to share with you the thinking and methodology that goes into every single client meeting.
Together we’ll review the agenda and how I structure it, all the documents, images, and materials I compile. I discuss the importance of building a coherent story and narrative, how to structure your relationship as a collaboration, why I don’t believe in final renderings, and the special importance sketching has in a meeting environment.
Every client meeting is an opportunity to listen more than you speak and I stress how important it is to compartmentalize the myriad decisions into sensible portions to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Hi, I am from the uk and I’m starting my first year at University/College to do architecture in September. I love how you use sketch paper to draw/sketch ideas quickly and how you connect with the client it is amazing. From watching your videos, I am really looking forward to starting architecture in September!! Thanks keep making excellent videos. Callum.
mate you should add spanish subtitules to your videos, you may have people from latinoameria that wach your videos
It's so inspiring getting acknowledgement from your methodology regarding my process,which has had more than its fair share of painful moments.
I like the line which says 'nothing you can say will hurt my feelings' so feel free to speak your mind..but that too requires trust to be built up.Thank you!
Nice work!
"nothing you're gonna tell me is gonna hurt my feelings, I've heard it all before" - really sounds like architecture school😂😂
I'm in the last year of Architecture at London South Bank University and I really appreciate your channel. You are more than an architect, you are a great teacher.
Wouldnt you have liked to have a tutor like him? They are so rare nowadays
Are u an architect by now?
Are u an architect now it’s been a while?
were all waiting for your reply if ure an architect now
Absoulutly, I agree with you
You should make podcasts. It's really easy to follow what you're talking about and it would be really great to just listen and learn.
I think the same!
yesss
That would be great!!
Same as I
Your videos makes me believe in our profession. Thank you. From Brazil.
I am 40 and am deciding to go back to school for Architectural design and drafting. That was my original goal when I was 12. That turned into kitchen and bath design when I was 25 and now I want to help out an architect or work in a design firm where ever it leads I went through lots of health problems in my late 20's and 30's but the passion is still alive. I tried freelancing art for my 20's and 30's and I am better at Cad, 2 point perspective drawing, drafting. I can visualize the space on paper and what it will look like in real life. Now that I finally have narrowed down. What my focus is. The process of learning is going to be fascinating and fun!! I never had a person take me by my hand and teach me what they know. I was always on my own. I will be going back to school to learn Architectural Design and Drafting. Plus, practicing every day drawing and research. Thanks 30x40 for helping along the way.
By far my favourite UA-cam Channel. Thank you for all Eric. It's been a big help for all of us.
I'm in love with your content and everything you have to share as far as experience and knowledge go! I'll be finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Urban Planing next year and I always thought i would do my Master's right after... well with each video you post I'm leaning more and more on starting a Bachelor's in Architecture after I complete urban planing! Keep up the awesome work! You would make an amazing mentor
Cheers from Montreal!
Apart from appreciating the knowledge being shared in all your videos, I love the cinematography and care to detail when making your videos. I am a fan of your channel!
I went to school for arc technologies 5 years ago and hit a rough patch than ended up starting a family now here I am 5 years later going back to get my bachelors and these videos really help to get me excited to be back in the field I've missed designing and drawing so much these past years. Thank you for making these videos.
It's great that you sketch so much and so well and that you encourage it to other architects. Thank you!
I'm 24 and I study business and law over 3 years now. I never knew what my passion was and now I deep down know that that direction is not something that I enjoy and thats the reason I'm stuck with my studies. But after so much time I'm truly too afraid too quit what I'm doing and follow a nother direction. The biggest Problem is I still don't know what my Passion is. But I always admierd people like you who are very passionate and good in what they do. Seeing you I wish I could do the same. But every year that passes by (and on top of that I'm a woman and wanna have kids and I just married and so on) the pressure to get something done rises, the more I loose my mind and shot down.
Mia! Don't stop looking for your passion! Try things, take classes (it doesn't have to have a degree attached to it). Art associations have classes, You Tube has a wealth of info for free. Don't be like me and wait it out till you're 60.
@@4dulcelife thats kind of you thank you
As a year 2 student, I always have a hard time trying to explain my design to peer and professors. This video really teaches me how to guide them through my design process and the materials that I need to create. You are legit the best UA-camr on architectural practices and thinking!
Hi Eric, I am a big fan. I have to thank you, in the past couple months I took off school to really decide what I wanted to study and commit to. Architecture was always a choice in the back of my head, and you have solidified my choice to pressure it wholeheartedly. So thank you for all the education you have provided on your channel.
"The result is greater than the sum of it's part". Just wow!! Thank you so much for such a detailed insight.
Thank You So Much ! I don't have more words to tell you how much of help you provide to the people who really look up to someone to tell them where they are wrong or how to help themselves, Your Videos means a lot to me and to so many others like me, I am Really glade you are doing something which is truly phenomenal for the architectural community and i appreciate your efforts and time to shoot and edit videos inspite of your daily routine of busy ARCHITECTURAL (Already a hectic job) As well as personal business, It is really an Amazing feeling to have such an intellectual individual spending precious time to teach something important, valuable to people in need.
Such a fantastic opportunity for other designers - and clients - to see the gold standard for client interaction, care and management. You've not only demonstrated what happens in a video, but what a client - architect relationship should feel and operate like. Thanks so much for the insight Eric :)
Hey, I just finished my CAD Certification, been watching your videos on building a digital portfolio and presentation to potential clients. I wanted to say thank you. Took notes and will now begin building my portfolio using your recommended steps. I will continue to follow your channel. Amazing Architect and teacher as well. Keep up the great work. Positive thoughts and vibes always.
Hi Eric,
You have some of the highest of quality of videos of any design channel on youtube in my opinion. From the pacing of your processes, done in such a clear and concise way that there really is no way to misunderstand your intent, to the way you're able to bring just about anybody from any background into understanding what it is that you're doing.
You're amazing.
Best,
Kelvin
Great content... you are an architecture school on your own..
Cheers from Sri Lanka
awesome...appreciate that...i should finalize the tuition rates soon...
;)
@@30by40 Thank you for all the free content! So Grateful!
You motivate me like no professor or other architect ever has before- thank you for your inspiration. I think you will change the way architects learn to become architects.
Just had a client meeting. So much of this came up naturally in our conversations.
Thank you for every advice. As a fresher architect, I like the way how you are educating others like me. You are such an inspiration.
Thank You!
An aspiring architect.
I just gave my final exam of my final year of Architecture today. I have been following your channel for the past one month or so. I have learnt more in this one month than I learned in 5 years of college (overwhelmed that it's over now). Great stuff!
You sir are an inspiration ! Your love for architecture clearly shows
thankyou so much! im a student who has lost big portion of my interest in architecture. finding out your channel bring that motivation again
I am an architect from india ... building my own office....had thought of putting pictures of some inspirational architects......your pic will be definitely be there....🙂.... actually you are our teacher sir.....i liked the way you named this process as a "democratic" process and open dialog process..... Beautiful work beautifully illustrated .....very nice work sir......🙏🙏
I think ALL tour videos are very detailed. It's obvious that you invest a lot of time and effort into making them.
Thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge with us
You are an inspiration, whenever I'm doubting of my choices your vedios give me the push that I need to continue ❤
I'm working for 12 years and find your videos very useful and educational. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
It's so strange that I do software development and yet obsessed with your channel :)
I absolutely agree with your sketching ideas....great concept of including the customer into this process...building trust, sharing ideas, and pulling them into the process--excellent!
My husband works as a machine engineer and is inspired by your knowledge, wonderful personality and showed me now one of your videos. Wow, You are AMAZING!
Thank you so much for making such great videos. Thumbs up!! You have got two more subscribers. :)
Greetings from Bosnian people that live in Norway.
i've been working in a small firm who have the same process are yours. one of my realizations is that the design process is like a variable, nothing is really constant and there is always an opportunity to improve design. I used to be stressed out with little things that I thought should be solved right away. this is a beautiful video of yours! thank you for sharing, it's helpful specially for young ones!
I m a student who gonna appear for architecture this year and for me itself is all about model making..lyk my sister she's doing interior nw and she is like on computer things are very easy but for me its been always making models.. thanks for making me sure for what i think its great to have another person having same thought of making models instead of techno work nowdays..i wish to be an architect like you..such an inspiration 😊
After 35 years of profession in design architecture I have watched this video like a teenager! Wonderful way to explain the many things which involve the architect and the design process and during all phases till the discussion with clients. Exceptional way to communicate the architecture thought and beyond.
Astonishing how well and clear You can express Yourself, line of work You do, goals and methods how to work. Based on this one video I just saw, You are bright and pleasant person. Beside Your skills on Your main work, way You present the process, is most helpfull to anyone, thinking planning, building, renovating , or ordering an house . Your stairtforward approach is most democratic and so valuable to all folks, contemplating anyting that relates these issues
This is one of my fav. Videos I keep watched over and over whenever i stuck ! Thank you so much
Great content! I'm in the process of finishing my degree in Design (Commercial Interiors) and have watched a couple of your videos and I'm hooked, thank you for sharing all your knowledge and skills. Greetings from Perth!
From A to Z absolutely amazing video! Can’t agree more with everything you’re saying! Thank you for sharing so much information and practical experience
Thank you, this Help me so much I'm Student From Mexico, and you make a Really great job Explaining to us the architecture life.
You're such an inspiration sir!! Thank you for this knowledgeable content you teaching us.
Love your passion Eric, you put so much effort as if you bring real life into that project
I teach graphic design and refer my students to your videos all of the time. Thanks for great content.
Awesome (Welcome Home) Sanitarium reference. In metal...
cheers + respect...you found it first...
i try to hide at least one metal-related easter egg in every vid...
\m/
Honestly i couldn't find the Metallica reference :D
It's the Email to Jaymz (James Hetfield) at 1:11 to 1:21 ;)
I just saw the sign of the Horns hand gesture at the end :)

Oh, that will make me binge watch everything again just to find them out!
Great bait mate!
Hello! I'm from Brazil, and I loved your channel! It is a caress to my soul as an architect! Congratulations!
best channel for architects in youtube ! thx
khelifi mohamed zakaria and designers in general
Love what you do. It would be nice if you could include in your process, how you use consultants in your work such as structural engineers and surveyors. It comes across as though your designing even the structural components of the project such as steel and concrete. In other words show how you liaise with the engineer as to column spacing and sizes etc.
I love this method of presentation, and it’s fun to sit opposite and practice sketching interior elevations upside down😊
Always right on point! Your ideal client will go hand in hand with that kind of process. It's not everybody that understand the research and thinking behind our work.
Most people will just by a home plan in a brochure or on a website. I call that McDonald's architecture plan! Architectural fastfood! Their's Nothing like a good meal prepared just for you!
Keep up the good work ! Always happy to watch your videos !
Thank you so much Sir for making videos like this cos it really gives me inspiration as an architecture student here in the Philippines.
an amazing explanation, because all the input, opinions, and ways to convey ideas by explaining them through stories and approaches to image drawing are the easiest things for clients to understand. sometimes we forget that clients are ordinary people we invite discussion to understand the intentions we want to convey, moreover their efforts are very enthusiastic in making decisions. we as consultants, must be able to provide information as easily as possible. I agree with you.
Greating from jakarta - indonesia.
I design architecture and landscape architecture. For 10 years now. Crazy part I have never gone to design or architecture school. It just makes sense to me. I see the entire project in my head as a natural artist and laborer by heart. All the components of a project come naturally to me. I am not talking down to anyone who went to school. I respect your dedication 💯. By the way, I do like a lot of your content and watch much of it, true professional. 👍
Hey i'm back again with the knowledge from my internship experiences. I can say this is really a huge help for me as an aspiring architect. Thank you so much! Keep it up Ar. Will recommend this to my schoolmates.
I was initially skeptical with how this would work for a larger firm and larger clients, where teams are involved, but I begin to see the possibilities as to how this approach can be adapted. Great content as always.
Sometimes I think I learn more from you than from the architecture school (and I've been in 3 universities so far). Thank you!
Kind regards! :)
Hi, I study Architecture school in Belarus, and your videos is a great stuff for improve skills of English language:)
Not gonna lie; i graduated as an architect about 6 months ago and been working in site and residential houses for 3 years now but i still felt somehow lost in my own carrer. what i mean is, although i know how to design and build a house from the foundations to the finishing touches, i felt that i was missing the artistic side of life as an architect. Seeing your videos has inspired me and somehow given me a new perspective. keep it up and thank you very much.
I've a client meeting on Friday and really want to focus in on what I need to have ready between now and then. Just thought I'd re-watch this video and it's totally helped me get set up for the days work. I think that being reminded to have an agenda and an idea of what you need to get out of the meeting is so helpful. Often you get so bogged down in doing the work that you forget how the work is meant to be serving you going forward. I recommend your channel to everyone- truly grateful for everything you're putting out there.
Appreciate the kind words and for sharing to your network. Downloading my toolkit ( thirtybyforty.com/spl ) is another great way to help support my work here on YT!
Hi, I am not an architect, but as a practicing interior design, I have to totally agree with you on the ability to do freehand sketches, it really helps to make quick decisions and impress a potential client.
subscribed! happy to find your production. love your content. thank you for making it available 👍
wow, very informative, great architect and great teacher, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
First time seeing you nervous or... in a fast mode! So many decisions to be made, indeed, but the most important thing with Architecture is that gives you a multi-task experience and approach. This is what Synthesis stands for. Great video once again!
cheers...i keep wishing i didn't have to use final cut pro to get into 'fast-mode'...
I am a Mozambican architect student, I appreciate all your videos Sr. Thanks a lot
Your videos show how the real world works instead of the typical non-stop design sketch that you often do in school. Thanks for sharing dude
thank you for uploading this video...im an aspring architect...hoping to become one like you in the future 😊 i hope you'll keep on making videos like this...real life situations on site and off site....really glad about this....thaks again
The process is more important than the result. An idea that's changing my whole vision of architecture.
And you help me to develop my thinking. Many thanks sir for sharing your experience :) Greetings from Belgium
I got a client meeting in a couple days and this video is so helpful! Gonna make that agenda now.
Greetings from Egypt , you are real architect and great person to watch...
Will apply all this in the next two years.
Thank you Architect.
Your video contents really inspire me and also u being an architect who provides informative media, accountable pov's and a variation of creative ideas and practices towards your profession makes me to strive harder. Hope to be like u, someday. God bless u and a good greetings from the Philippines!
I find it interesting that you don't see final renders at collaborative. We find we can get our idea across with no confusion, the client has a really good idea of what we are proposing. We have discussions of what they like or don't like about the design. We also find clients that have built before they never fully understood Elevations and Floorplans the architects have designed. We love to sketch as well, its great way to get quick ideas out and we like the artistry that's involved. So I think a combination of both works great for us.
In Helsinki this week, sharing your videos with my Masters Class. All good. best wishes, Adam
Great architect and great teacher, videos I keep watched over and over, thank you for the awesome content!
Perfect man!!!!
I live in Brazil and love your vids!!
Thanks for the every class!!
I hit the jackpot this is My 1st choice out of how many on UA-cam. Very easy listening and so in depth because I have no idea just an idea in my head.
The science of design and the business of design...you nail it my friend👍
both the drawings and the process here are super tight and inspiring from both a quality and pragmatic perspective
Very helpful advice on how to discuss your drawing plans and ideas on people especially on clients, love it man!
Thankyou. You motivated me to start architecture. I'm going to Georgia tech next year to study architecture
Very well produced video.
A very engaging speaker and the filming style made the presentation elegant. Kudos to the people or person behind the camera and in the editing bay.
i hit a wall in my studys watching this made me change the way i look at everything
Was it a load baring wall?
As always..really awesome post. I am still surprised at how you juggle it all: client meetings, site visits, drafting for approval and construction, paperwork and especially revision drawings and detail drawings for Contractors.
Love from Lesotho. Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge with us.
This is what you call actual business , not some UA-camr promising you loads of money by joining their ridiculous learning program. As a non architect i find this very interesting. Thank you so much
You're Awesome. This world needs more Human like you.
Eric, Please never stop man. We love your videos.
Mahefa Reboza retweet, this channel is teaching me a lot about design in general, i wish i knew about similar channels with the same quality of everything from info to video to graphics
Great Video!
This collaborative style of architecture reminds of the Japanese firm 'Mikan' which is a firm of four principal architects who evolve their designs from extensive discussions between themselves and later the designs are shared with the stakeholders for further discussion and the design evolves further!
Beautiful! You clearly have an incredible skill in presentation.
The process has been excellently put forward: "As an architect, we will order the decision making process and parcel out the decisions into neat little packages for our clients."
Thank you for all these videos! you are such a passionate creative!!! so pure and filled with so many ideas. You inspire me.
Yeah
Your opinion on renders is almost exactly the same as my professor (I study graphic design) opinion about mockups.
It is nice to see that other people agree with that.
My mentor is almost 80 years old and still climbing up and down structures. He does all of the things in this video without explaining the whys. Now that I've seen this video, I have a better understanding on what he does during meetings.
You hit the spot once again. I keep getting drawn into your videos. They help me understand our (architects') world better. Thanks a ton. These videos have taught me so much more than just Architecture. I'm looking forward for more.
Cheers from India
pleased to hear you're getting so much out of these...thanks for watching and commenting!
i found my new fav channel, just to listen and learn such a treat
I shared your process with my students. Thanks for sharing it.
Watching your channel to calm my mind. Great presentation format, structure and content. Thank you ♥️🙏
That's a great insight into the process, that way the client feels involved. I'd like to focus on residential architecture, so all your tips are super helpful:)
Thanks for the videos! I am definitely listen and taking heavy notes from your videos. Keep it up!!!
You've inspired me so much this is great content for me taking me to the next level in this field
From Morocco . Really good chanel . Perfect video about all things of architecture , planning. Good luck..
