Pecha Kucha Goes GREEN...

Pechakucha is a global yet local non-profit discussion platform, hosting events in more than 15 cities worldwide.

Specialists and creative people from various fields of work are invited to talk 6min40sec each, showing 20 images to explain their work to you. Sole purpose: to make you wiser than you already are.

Pecha Kucha night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, was conceived as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. (Admittedly, it was also a way to get more people to visit SuperDeluxe - their multimedia event space in Tokyo - during the mid-week doldrums.)

But as we all know, give a mic to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha 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.

Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global - as Pecha-Kucha night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over a dozen cities across the world.

Pechakucha 是世界范围及地区性的非盈利讨论平台,已在全球15个城市 开展活动.来自不同领域的专家和创意人将向您展示20张照片并在6分40秒之内向您解释他们的作品.其宗旨为:使您变得比现在更具智慧

不必与杂志编辑热络就能便利地,非正式地展示创造性工作的论坛的需 求.这种需求看来是全球性的—正如 Pecha-Kucha 之,无需任何推广,已经自动传播到世界各地的十多个城市.

正如我们所知,把麦克风交给设计师（尤其是一个建筑师),你就会陷入 滔滔不绝之中.Pecha Kucha的关键就在于保证避免如此结局的特创制度.每个演讲者只能演示20张图片,每张图片只有20秒阐述时间—演讲之前就确定了6分40秒的框架,从而在保证 演讲的精准简洁,提高趣味的同时,给更多人展示机会.

Astrid Klein 和 Mark Dytham 发起 Pechakucha 之夜的最初设想是为 年轻的设计师们提供一个聚会,社交和向公众展示他们的工作的地方.(也必须坦承认,这也是为了在礼拜中景气低滞的时候吸引更多人访问 SuperDeluxe—他们在东京的多媒体活动 空间）
