But we should pay attention to several key points:

1. Focus on the highlights of the project. Why not just say that it didn't win the prize, but simply express its design ideas, so that the teacher can focus on the work itself, not whether it won the prize.

2. Focus on the experience. It not only expounds what work I participated in (drawings, models) and what skills I used (parameterization, bim technology) from design to performance, but also understands teamwork and exercises my sense of cooperation, communication and understanding, and so on. Let the teacher pay attention to your self-growth and progress in the competition, not the work itself.

3. Focus on my reflection after losing the election. Let the teacher know that although you didn't win the prize, you have learned a lot, such as the relationship between architecture and city, the relationship between architecture and history, the relationship between space and people and so on. And choose one or two of them for in-depth discussion. This is a potential topic change, which not only shifts the embarrassing topic of "losing the election" to the positive topic of "learning progress", but also focuses the teacher's eyes on you, a thoughtful and progressive person.
