Pecha Kucha Sydney Volume 01 was held last week and was a great success. Bunkered beneath Seidler’s Fungal Folly on Martin Place, the 150 odd punters saw eleven fantastically diverse presenters.
Among the things shown were a green-wall salad bar, the eco city of Dongtan, Museum to Architecture constructed out of serial transformations of project homes, an ode to caravans and caravanning, an analysis of virtual ‘weight’ demonstrated by a jet fighter swallowing a truck, and of course; a bunch of very nice buildings.
Chris Major and David Welsh from Welsh + Major Architects. started the evening off with a series of images
Katie Hepworth and Miriam Mlecek of Transit Lounge
Kevin Finn of Open Manifesto
Mike Horne from Turf Design
Dagmar Reinhardt of Frau Reindhardt und Herr Jung
Sarah Benton of Terroir.
