Pecha Kucha, (which is Japanese for ‘the sound of conversation’), was devised and is shared by Tokyo based architects Klein Dytham architecture. It is a cross-disciplinary event that creates a forum for designers, architects and artists to meet, network, and to show and discuss their work in public. The format of the evening allows the audience to experience a diverse group of speakers in a relatively short space of time. Presenters are allowed 20 images, shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes & 40 seconds per presentation.
