400 seconds - 20 images - Design Forum NY

Please read article on link attached.
Pretty cool idea.

Anyone interested in doing something like this in our meetings? It could help us learn more about what intrigues us, inspires us and impacts the way we think and work.

Exerpt from it:
"It's architecture’s version of speed dating. At Pecha Kucha, an event born in Tokyo in 2003 and introduced to New Yorkers in September, architects are allowed 400 seconds to show 20 images of their work. “There’s no saying ‘back’ to the projectionist,” explains Klein Dytham Architecture principal Mark Dytham, who began organizing the events with partner Astrid Klein. Indeed, the projectionist changes the slide every 20 seconds, ready or not."

I think this would be a good idea, not only in the Design Council, in our Practice Group meetings also. We get bogged down in the day-to-day we loose touch with our inspiration and others'. Maybe have PMs that aren't associated with design show a favorite architect or building that inspires them. What makes them tick...
