Q. What makes a successful PPT?
A successful PPT is that one that does not follow any of the PPT readymade templates.
Q. What is the most important element in a PPT?
The capacity to visualize the non visual in regards to design concepts and relations.
Q. Do you have any know-how to making your PPT?
I started using the PPT when I needed to present our winning Europan 4 project to our clients, the Municipality of Heraklion, Crete, Greece, back in 2000. You need to treat PPT as blank surface with low tech illustrator capacities but with quickly prepared powerful visual results. The presentation should not remain in the same slide for too long. For example, a 20 minutes presentation could be of around 80 slides, some of them that they pass really quickly and other ones could stay longer.
Q. What is different between PANEL and PPT?
A competition PANEL is the opposite of PPT. The PANEL is receptive, since it is an interface which is to be regarded by the viewer in close distance. The viewer may be a client or a jury member. A PPT is rather offensive since it projects out to the audience visual information in a fast forward mode.
Q. How do you get ideas for PPT?
PPT should not be a technical report but a visual narrative of ideas. Ideas are presented in a targeted mode with visual diagrams, taking in consideration PPTs limitations, put forward by Edward Tufte. In fact, Edward Tufte has shown the limitations of PPT when used for technical reports in NASA.
Q. What is important to you when you have presentation?
The PPT is a memory re-caller for me. It helps me through short phrases, arrows, figures, diagrams, images to recall what I want to talk about. Consequently, the viewers get a double presentation: what they see and what they hear. Sometimes, the two coincide and in other cases they complement each other.
Q. On presentation, have you any gesture or word when you want to get attentionfrom clients.
I get the attention from clients by keeping them in track with the overall story I am presenting, through visual diagrams. The audience becomes more attentive, but also much more prepared to dive into complex concepts.
Q. Any episodes or memories related to a presentation?
In fact, in Vienna, during the Europan Europe Forum of Results back in May 2012, I had the chance to make two PPT presentations. The first one was about our winning implemented project of Europan 4 in Heraklion, Crete, Greece and a second one was about an article I wrote entitled “Welcome Back In My Back Yard: An Urban Porosities Interrogation”, in regards to process of implementation of Europan projects, (http://www. socratesstratis.com/en/publications). In the first case, a local authority counselor from a French city came up to me, after I finished the presentation, thrilled with the visual information I shared with them suggesting that if I ever stayed out of job in architecture I could get easily one in communication. In other words, a success story. After the second presentation, some colleagues, who had read my article made their point clear saying that my oral capacities seemed to be much better than my written ones. Or at least, the PPT presentation was much more explicit in regards to the concepts I wanted to bring forward.
Socrates Stratis Q. Do you consider your appearance when you prepare presentation? (ex. Dressing, make-up..)
Not really. What counts is that you feel at ease with yourself and nothing interferes between your mind and your presentation. You do all you need to put the pressure down despite the fact that there will be always stress around. We are talking about a performance.
Q. Anything say to those making their PPT? A presentation is a project in itself. You have to prepare it, even if afterwards you improvise. Don’t read! If you were in the shoes of one who is client, what would you look for and why?
A PPT is low tech of other more advanced visual software. Use it as a “knife” to cut into the concepts you may want to present. There is not a preset template for Architects’ PPT, but a visual communication state of mind, keeping always in consideration the receptor, that be a client or an audience.If I were in the shoes of a client, or an audience in
general, I would like to get exposed to concepts and visual information that I can’t access in the Panels neither in the printed reports. In other words, a PPT should not be a replica of material already given out to the client or the audience.
