"Presentation of the Day" on May 17, 2013.
Presented as part of a themed's special event that revolved around the color "green," Klein Dytham architecture's Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham share some of their favorite green buildings -- and by this, we mean buildings colored green!
When it comes to his creative process, Keita Akiyama has two main themes he follows: form and sound. In this presentation, he walks us through recent drawings and electronic musical instruments, showing off some of his acoustic plants. (in Japanese)
Green Boy (aka HARIKEN) is a creator of street-style character designs, and in this presentation he shares some of his recent work. (in Japanese)
Matt Alt is the author of the "Attack!" series of books that so far have introduced the West to the world of yokai, yurei, and ninjas. In this presentation, we learn all about the traditional green creature known as the kappa.
Soichiro Araki from EARTHSCAPE (designer and project director) talks about their environmental project, MHCP (Medical Herbman Cafe Project). (in Japanese)
Kyle McLain is a longtime fan of all things Nintendo, and in this presentation he takes a look at video gaming's favorite sidekick, Luigi!
Hiroyuki Ono of Greenz.jp -- a web magazine that has been covering social design from around the world since 2006 -- talks about how social design can be used solve social problems in positive ways. (in Japanese)
Don Kratzer attempts to answer the controversial question, "What Color is Godzilla?" Plus, other über-toy-nerd trivia concerning the color green.
A creative director based in Tokyo, he also produces vinyl toys and collaborates with artists through his Fig-lab brand. His latest project is the "Finger Five" series, made up of short vinyl figures that you can place on your fingers. He also helps run the PechaKucha Night series in Tokyo, which is held on the last Wednesday of every month.
Executive Director of the PechaKucha organization, he also helps run the PechaKucha Night in Tokyo -- please get in touch if you are interested in presenting at a future event. For a more intimate salon-like discussion group, join him at his monthly PauseTalk event. A longtime resident of Tokyo, he lives and breathes design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired's Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.
Coordinator at PechaKucha HQ in Tokyo, Yuki helps this great big PK family run as smoothly as possible, helping organizers stay updated and informed. She also runs the PechaKucha Night series in Tokyo, which is held on the last Wednesday of every month.
Johnny is a total dude from Southern California. However, unlike (or in some cases like) many other total dudes from this region, he digs design, burritos, architecture, tech, and most especially: video games. Johnny hangs with other cool dudes and dudettes at KDa/PechaKucha HQ and writes for PK's radical Daily Blog, Twitter, and Facebook. You can find him scouring Tokyo for killer cheeseburger joints, most likely ones that specialize in avocado burgers. Righteous.
