Research on how to give an effective presentation

http://presentationexpressions.com/

As part of my research into giving an effective presentation for my CS project, I came across an incredibly helpful website set up by two public speakers, called Carl Kwan and Liam Lusk. Their tips were incredibly helpful and they have definitely taught me some tips I will remember for a very long time.

About Presentation Expressions:


"Both of us wanted to start this website because we saw a lack of quality presentations learning material, especially for non-Native English speakers. Since our backgrounds are in teaching English, business communications, and presentations in Korea, setting up PresentationExpressions.com was a natural step.

Here, you’ll find loads of information to help you give a presentation, whether you are a Native English speaker or not. Just look around at all the material and videos and we’re sure you’ll find something helpful. If not, feel free to ask questions or request something. We’ll do our best to help."

Nihon Kenchiku - Japanese architecture

Japanese architecture (日本建築 Nihon kenchiku?) has traditionally been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding doors (fusuma) were used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a space to be customized to different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor, traditionally; chairs and high tables were not widely used until the 19th century. Since the 19th century, however, Japan has incorporated much of Western, modern, and post-modern architecture into construction and design, and is today a leader in cutting-edge architectural design and technology.
