400 seconds - 20 images - Design Forum NY
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."

Great Reference for Research
This is a great site to research demographic information in a specific geographic location in the US. Click on Neighboroo.com to check it out.
Color in - Color out
The windows on the ten floors along the tower body constantly change colour. Anyone can call a number, +46 (70) 57 57 807, and control the colours in the windows of the tower by mixing red, green and blue light with their phone. You can do it on site or by looking at a camera stream on the webpage. It can be seen from quite some distance in every direction.
The developers say that "Besides the aesthetic sides of Colour By Numbers we hope that it can be a contribution to the debate about democracy and public space here in Stockholm."
Colour by Numbers is a collaboration between: Milo Lavén, architect, Erik Krikortz, artist and Loove Broms, interaction designer. Photos by Malin Arnesson.
