Pecha Kucha Vol 02 went without a hitch last November. Unfortunately I missed the whole thing as I was in the air watching Click where Adam Sandler plays an architect who, aside from having a remote control that controls time rather than his sony trinitron, has two kids that help him with his work by making models out of pizza. An altogether less inspiring night of creative wonder than that which took place at the CTA…
The speakers on the night were:
Andrew burns of Neeson Murcutt Architects.
Genevieve Blanchett from Emergency Architects showing the work that the organisation has been undertaking in tsunami affected areas.
Andrew Silke, freelance animator.
Sam Crawford spoke about the work he has been involved with in Malawi.
Christopher Hewson from Eeles Trelease Architects
t
Richard Goodwin, sculptor.
Hugo Snell and the Petro Cow Project team from the University of Sydney presented their project for intelligent swarming particles controlled by milk crates.
Ben McCarthy, furniture and industrial design.
Dirk Zimmerman from Studio 505

When I flew last November Click was also one of the in-flight films. I was expecting the worst from the film, so it fared a bit better than that in my mind. On the other leg of the flight was The Lakehouse where Keanu Reeves is the son of a master architect, though Keanu’s character sells out to develop and build cookie cutter suburban homes. Funny how both legs had films with architects as main characters, though Lakehouse made architecture more integral to the equally fantastical plot than Click.
