Pecha Kucha Night Bilbao vol.1
22 April 2010
Last April 15th, there was a motivating international event in Bilbao, which has already reached cities on the five continents: Pecha Kucha Night. Organized by Creativity Zentrum, the goal of this meeting is to support young designers and architects, giving them the chance to meet, get to know people, and show their work.
Created in Tokyo in February, 2003, by the studio Klein Dytham Architecture, Pecha Kucha Night has become, with the passing of time, an extraordinarily popular event held in more than 200 cities, and it inspires creative people worldwide. The Pecha Kucha format is based on a very simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. Each participant suggests 20 images, which are displayed during 20 seconds each, and a presentation is done on them. This format promotes attractive, concise, and fast presentations.
In this sparkling framework, Carlos Alonso Pascual presented the master lines of the initiative Bilbao 2014 World Design Capital, and encouraged the attendants to get involved in the project and contribute to the design of our future. “A future open for those who want to offer their work for the creation of a better society, more sustainable and fair,” Carlos Alonso said.
Creativity Zenturm has already announced the date for the second edition of this casual and stimulating event: June 17th. Without a doubt, an unavoidable appointment for all the people interested in Creativity, Innovation, and Design.
