Catania

Architectural Tips in Catania, a Zen Approach to Life, and the Reason PechaKucha Is Great for You

We’re trying something a bit different today, and instead of producing a few separate posts, we’re creating a one-stop post with all of the day’s news and interesting links. Do let us know what you think.

Emanuele Fidone

Presentations
First off, of course, comes the presentations. As we’ve been doing lately, we’ve added two new presentations: Hear Emanuele Fidone cover key aspects of architecture as he shares his works (in Italian, from PKN Catania Vol. 10), or let Peter Harris guide you through the inner workings of zen (from PKN Waterville Vol. 6). And if you’ve been wondering just how global our presentations are, this page should clue you in — we have 63 cities represented, with of course new cities sending us presentations every day.

PKN Coruna Vol. 6

Posters
And you do remember about our fantastic PKN poster Tumblr, right? Every single poster we receive from our global organizers goes up there, and today’s additions includes posters/flyers for PKN Coruna Vol. 6, PKN Rockford Vol. 1, PKN Nishinomiya Vol. 12, and PKN Sacramento Vol. 17.

Links
There’s also been some great PechaKucha chatter around the net, and here are a few links that we’d like to share today (and we’ll be sharing more links like this on a regular basis, so keep the coverage coming):

Calendar
Here’s wishing you a fantastic weekend, and don’t forget to check the PechaKucha calendar to find out what PechaKucha Night you can attend over the next few days (hint: we’re in Cleveland, Ferrol, Guatemala City, Lausanne, Manizales, and Bandung tonight, and in Springfield, MO and Helsinki tomorrow).

Computer Graphic Character Design

Computer Graphic Character Design

In “Computer Graphic Character Design,” a group of students (Reibe Studios) from computer science and fine arts departments share with us the methodologies they apply to the creation of characters in computer graphic design, and how they produced two short films. The presentation was recorded at PechaKucha Night in Catania Vol. 11, and is in Italian.

PKN Catania Vol. 10

As we’re sure you’ll all agree, the venue of Convitto Nazionale M. Cutelli for PechaKucha Night in Catania Vol. 10 was an inspired one, providing an unforgettable setting for the evening’s presentations. We include a few photos in this post, but there’s more to see in this Flickr photoset. And please note that PKN Catania Vol. 11 is set for December 20 (but at a different venue).
