Designers rub elbows, show work at Pecha Kucha Night

Pecha Kucha is Japanese for the sound of conversation and there should
be a lot of that as local designers and architects descend onto Atwater
Block Brewery on Aug. 21 for Pecha Kucha Night – a gathering to meet,
network, and show work to the public.

Excerpt:

Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

But
as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and
you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its
patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20
images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of
fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise,
the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
