How To Help Readers Understand Unfamiliar Facts

[The Don]

Hello guys.

I was reading a book and stumbled upon an interesting subject related to understanding unfamiliar facts in a non-complicated way.

Here is what I've learned.

A way to help your readers understand unfamiliar facts is to relate them to sights they are familiar with. Reduce the abstract principle to an image they can visualize.

Moshe Safdie, the architect who conceived Habitat, the innovative housing complex at Montreal’s Expo ’67, explains in his book Beyond Habitat that man would build better than he does if he took the time to see how nature does the job, since “nature makes form, and form is a by-product of evolution”.

If you are working on a project, this principle might be helpful.

Peace.
