- #3 : BEYOND THE PRETTY PICTURE -
PRESENTATION MODERATED BY SLH PRINCIPAL GREG HOWE
“The full value and character of a project often cannot be captured by one, or even a series of still images and there are many types of projects that simply cannot be done justice using visuals alone. Furthermore, for most people the custom residential design process and the distinctions of a fully customized home are often not clear. This presentation will focus on the importance of explaining the process and how best to document the final product.”
