It’s a common affliction - give a microphone to most designers (architects we’re looking at you) and you’re hit with a viral spiel on the “process driven, sculptural, embryonic, contextual, terrain vague”…Neh?
Thankfully, next Tuesday Pecha Kucha presents us with a cure to forum boredom.
First created by Tokyo’s Klein Dytham Architecture, Pecha Kucha Night provides designers from all disciplines the chance to not only exhibit their creative work, but also their inspiration.
Since its conception, the night has spread to over 20 cities including Buenos Aires, Helsinki and London. With just 20 presenters, using 20 slides, with 20 seconds per slide over 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame, there’s little time for crap chat, and ample opportunity to explore unique ideas.
