Margaret Fletcher has been involved in the practice of visual design for over 20 years. Fletcher‘s most recent project is the design of her book, Constructing the Persuasive Portfolio, the only primer you’ll ever need. Prior to this recent endeavor, Fletcher’s primary visual design experience was as Project Director at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects where she was responsible for the visualization graphics for 18 architectural projects during her tenure there. Prior to that, Fletcher was the Manager of Special Projects in the Department of Lectures, Exhibitions and Academic Publications at Harvard University Graduate School of Design where she was instrumental in the published discourse of architecture through the development of many projects.
Designing visualizations for over 20 years to elucidate complex architectural and design ideas has greatly influenced Fletcher’s other creative work pursuits as well as her pedagogical stance on architectural design and the visual communication of these design ideas.

On Imagination: Conversations with Architects is a one hundred five minute film probing the illusive, ephemeral and undefinable capacity of the imagination through the imaginative musings of some of today’s most creative architects. Imagination is central to the authority of architecture and at the core of architectural discourse, though often as a subtext. The project includes vignettes from eighteen interviews of twenty-two architects including Harry Cobb, Preston Scott Cohen, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, Rem Koolhaas, Diane Lewis, Thom Mayne, Martha Schwartz, Mack Scogin, Michael Sorkin, Elias Torres, Billie Tsien, Michael Van Valkenburgh and Tod Williams. Future participants include Zaha Hadid and others. The interviews, which are conversational rather than technical, lend the film the capacity to promote dialogue around the topic of imagination in all creative processes, not just within the project of architecture. The film premiered at Harvard University Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Fletcher’s role: design, construction and programming of introductory animation; producer with Merrill Elam and Helen Han in collaboration at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, senior team member of 10 person team.

Margaret Fletcher has been involved in the practice of architecture for over 11 years. Fletcher was a Project Director at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects from 2003–2011, and Design Consultant and Director of Publications at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects from 2011–2014. Her primary role was that of designer and visualization strategist.
Working in collaboration at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects for 11 years provided a fantastic opportunity to work through the visual communication of extraordinarily complex architectural ideas in a straightforward and clear manner. This work was a vehicle to not only be able to explain the work to others, but also be able to better understand it ourselves as the team moved through the design process. The project visualization process is deeply embedded in the normative design process.
Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects is an internationally recognized award-winning architectural practice. Through her design collaboration at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, Fletcher has participated in projects that have won over 12 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Awards including 3 National AIA Awards of Excellence in Architecture.
All projects were completed in collaboration at Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects. All images courtesy of Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects, photographers as noted.
