Building The Story: Web And Graphic Design Supporting Architecture, Ft. Adam Tarasewicz

Architecture needs strong visual communication. Websites, graphic design, typography and presentation all shape how a practice, project or portfolio is understood.

Stephen Drew speaks with Adam Tarasewicz about web and graphic design for architecture, visual identity, practice websites, research, portfolios and how design communication supports built environment work.

The conversation covers:

• How architecture and graphic design overlap
• Why visual identity should respond to context and story
• How practices can think about websites and modern platforms
• What graduates can do when moving between design disciplines
• Why CVs, portfolios and presentations are also graphic design problems
