ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATIONS Unity Be organized. In an effective presentation, no one segment is inconsistent with or detracts from the whole. Unity, not to be confused with uniformity, depends on: • A logical and comprehensive arrangement of integrated graphic and verbal information; • A synthesis of format. scale, medium, and technique appropriate to the design as well as to the place and audience for which the presentation is intended. Continuity Each segment of apresentation should relateto what precedes it and what follows, reinforcing all the other segments of the presentation. t-···- -- ---------·--· ---r-------------- ----- ----·r-·-------------------, I ; ~ I 1 1 i i I : : I o . : t--------0-,-- -. . . ; . - r-0----- ---------------r . . . ! ; . .

The principles of unity and continuity are mutually self-supporting; one cannot be achieved without the other. The factors that produce one invariably reinforce the other. At the same time, however, we can bring into focus the central idea of adesign through the placement and pacing of the major and supporting elements of the presentation. ~----tJ ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATIONS/ 173
