About the format
The project was created by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of the Tokyo-based studio Klein-Dytham Architecture. PechaKucha Night, whose Japanese–English name means “a night of chatting”, offers a special opportunity for architects, designers, graphic designers, visual artists, scientists, engineers and theorists to meet in one place. By sharing experiences and information and presenting new developments in their fields, they aim to broaden awareness among the general public and beyond.
The first PechaKucha Night took place in Tokyo in February 2003. The first Czech event was held in Prague in 2007. The format is designed to keep the audience’s attention: each speaker has just 6 minutes and 40 seconds to show 20 images, speaking about each for 20 seconds. There is no going back or pausing the presentation. An evening usually features 10–12 speakers.
