My Pecha Kucha presentation was on the design know today as the ‘Mega-structure’. I discussed why designs of such magnitude are created and the influences, both internal and external to the designer in creating them. I also discussed how these designs have changed throughout history, from the Pyramids to the Eiffel tower, Empire State building, Burj Khalifa, Trump Tower and X-Seed 4000.
I believe that my Pecha Kucha overall went well with a good display of research, analysis and critical thinking. I had practiced keeping on time and compensating for the fact that I would talk faster because of nerves. There was only one slide that I had a major pause for about 4 seconds due to me reading too fast.
In terms of visual presentation I believe the use of ‘info-graphics’ and my own illustrations helped differentiate myself from the heavily image based presentations of some students.



I possibly could have used more images but too many would have distracted the viewer from the oral presentation of information. I may have needed to trim down the large quantities of research however I believe as I was doing such a broad topic it was necessary to show in depth analysis.
Unfortunately there was little class feed back but the class seemed to like it. Those I sit next to said I spoke well and had a lot o information.
