Winning Proposals, RFPs & Storyboards.

Proposals and RFPs: Are your designs fabulous but you can’t spell or write well? Is pulling together text the painful afterthought when you have an urgent proposal deadline?

Forward planning of the text would be nice but this is the real world!

RFP & Proposals.

In the final days and hours, adrenalin soars and concept and vision can change quickly and move to a higher level.

Design clients count on my help on deadline when it’s most needed. Many proposals I’ve written have won or been highly placed.

Guarantee your proposal text is free of distracting typos. Display your narrative and demonstrate your design vision with pride and imagination at every stage of the proposal process.

Drawing on my experience of meeting deadlines and writing as an international journalist, I bring out the best of your ideas in those crucial last days (or hours) before submitting your proposal.

If you are preparing a stunning proposal for a book or storyboard, the words must equal the vision. Better yet, the text should enhance the vision so the story will become reality with the building of the project.

Looking forward to my story about Moshe Safdie app Looking forward to my story about Moshe Safdie appearing in a few weeks. Will post links. What can designers learn from a starchitect to help their businesses? Here he was talking about humanising the megascale and repossessing the public realm, at Edge, this year’s annual conference of the Australian Institute of Architects. It was the first time since 1959 the AIA held its conference on the Gold Coast. 
Safdie designs outside of the box. This was my second interview with him. My first was at the opening of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore (swipe). He has a new building Jewel opening at Singapore’s Changi Airport in 2019. 
He designed a master plan for Robins on the Gold Coast in the late 1970s that was never realised. It included a canal on the same scale as the Grand Canal in Venice and the plan would have been a precursor to Marina Bay Sands. Safdie described the mall and home developments that were built  at Robina as heartbreaking’. Another in the catalogue of the greatest unbuilt projects. I have worked on a few, writing copy for bids for architects and the design comes alive in your imagination and resides there forever in a kind of parallel universe. 
Meanwhile people use the space never knowing how it might have been.

The Gold Coast is destination for the National Arc The Gold Coast is destination for the National Architecture Conference, titled Edge next week. 
Looking forward to talks and writing about it.

If you are a publisher or a design firm who’d like a report from the event on a specific angle or to find out what you are missing let me know.
Keynote speaker is Moshe Safdie who I interviewed (along with many others) at opening of the amazing Marina Bay Sands in 2010.

The pod on the right said to the pod on left.... I The pod on the right said to the pod on left.... I have watched this building being made after wondering what would be put on the site. Couldn’t have guessed. It’s a house with the living area in the pod on the right and the sleeping quarters on the left. 
Would love to write about it for a mag or the designer.

New block replaces brick veneer flats that had bee New block replaces brick veneer flats that had been part of Rainbow Bay forever. 
Quite chunky as new blocks go. The balconies are like indoor/outdoor rooms. Appealing retreat from the sun and breeze.  I would want to be from Level 4 up up so I don’t see the road but see beach life. The rear view looks across buildings towards boat harbour and river.
Will add more details in comments as I discover them.
What do you think?
