1 Use multiple formats

Depending on the type and scale of your project, you may need to use different formats to convey your design concept, such as sketches, plans, elevations, sections, 3D models, renderings, animations, or VR/AR. Each format has its advantages and disadvantages, and some may be more suitable for certain stages of the design process or for certain types of clients. For example, sketches can be useful for brainstorming and exploring ideas, while renderings can help clients visualize the final appearance and atmosphere of the space. However, you should not rely on only one format, as it may not capture all the aspects of your design or address all the questions or concerns of your clients. Instead, you should use multiple formats to complement each other and to provide different perspectives and levels of detail. This way, you can help your clients understand your design better and avoid misunderstandings or confusion.

Considero que los dise?os sean más accesibles, "entendibles" para el comitente , es importante utilizar una variedad de formatos para transmitir los bocetos, ideas del dise?o , imágenes y borradores trabajados en conjunto . Esto incluye planos, modelos 3D, renderizaciones y realidad virtual/aumentada. Cada formato tiene sus ventajas y es adecuado para diferentes etapas del proceso de dise?o y las características del comitentes y tu relacion personal con el / ellos. Los bocetos son útiles para las reuniones iniciales , mientras que renders ayudan a visualizar el aspecto final del espacio. Todo ayuda a analizar y comprender mejor tus dise?os y evitar malentendidos con el potencial comitente y su entorno social o familiar

2 Simplify and explain

While you may be used to working with complex and technical information, such as dimensions, specifications, codes, or symbols, your clients may not have the same background or knowledge. Therefore, you should try to simplify and explain your design as much as possible, without compromising its quality or integrity. For example, you can use clear and simple language, avoid jargon or acronyms, use annotations or legends, or provide examples or references. You can also use diagrams, charts, or infographics to illustrate your design principles, strategies, or solutions, and to highlight the benefits or challenges of your design. By simplifying and explaining your design, you can make it more understandable and appealing for your clients, and demonstrate your professionalism and expertise.

As architects and designers we often like to add emense details to our presentation images and documents to ensure everything is reflected the way we see it in our heads. For those not trained in our profession this can lead to some confusion or an overload of information. To make our documents and presentations more easily digestible and accessible, we should be simplifying what we show to the clients especially early on. Use simple language and develop a standard way of labeling everything so the customer can learn the difference between them. Now with the computer, consider creating layered files that are interactive that allow the user to open up more details if the require or desire.

3 Involve and engage

One of the most important aspects of making your designs more accessible for clients is to involve and engage them in the design process. You should not treat your design presentation as a one-way communication, but as a dialogue and a collaboration. You should invite your clients to share their opinions, preferences, feedback, or questions, and to participate in the decision-making process. You should also listen to their needs and expectations, and show them how your design responds to them. You should be open and flexible, and be ready to adjust or revise your design if necessary. By involving and engaging your clients, you can build trust and rapport, and create a design that satisfies both parties.

The client communication gets better with active involvement of the client in the design development. Some of the methods are as follows 1. Getting design inputs like colour, material, spatial form preferences 2. Allowing the client to immerse themselves in different market trends and identify their taste. 3. Generating different options and explaining them the life and feel of each option and let them decide on what works better for them.

Esto implica convertir la presentación de dise?o en un diálogo y colaboración, Invitar a los comitentes a compartir opiniones y participar en la toma de decisiones, escucha sus necesidades y muestra cómo tu dise?o responde a ellas.

4 Use feedback tools

Another way to make your designs more accessible for clients is to use feedback tools that allow you to collect and manage their comments and suggestions. Feedback tools can be online platforms, apps, or software that enable you to share your designs with your clients, and to receive their feedback in real time or asynchronously. Some feedback tools also allow you to annotate, mark up, or edit your designs, and to track the changes and revisions. Feedback tools can help you streamline your design presentation and feedback process, and to improve your communication and collaboration with your clients. They can also help you document and archive your design iterations and feedback history, and to avoid errors or conflicts.

5 Test and evaluate

Finally, you can make your designs more accessible for clients by testing and evaluating them before, during, and after the design process. Testing and evaluating your designs can help you verify their feasibility, functionality, performance, and quality, and to identify and solve any issues or problems. You can use different methods and techniques to test and evaluate your designs, such as prototyping, mock-ups, simulations, surveys, or user testing. You can also involve your clients in the testing and evaluation process, and ask them to provide their feedback or ratings. By testing and evaluating your designs, you can ensure that they meet your clients' requirements and expectations, and that they deliver the desired outcomes and impacts.

This is a space to share examples, stories, or insights that don’t fit into any of the previous sections. What else would you like to add?

1. Use high contrast colors: Ensure that there is a clear distinction between text and background colors to make it easier for clients with visual impairments to read your content. 2. Provide alternative text for images: Including descriptive alt text for images allows clients who use screen readers to understand the content of the images on your designs. 3. Implement keyboard navigation: Make sure that clients can navigate through your designs using only a keyboard, as some users may have difficulty using a mouse. 4. Use clear and concise language: Avoid using complex language in your designs to ensure that all clients can easily understand the information you are trying to convey. 5. Test with real users: Get feedback from clients
