Underground Food in Curitiba, Random Acts of Courage, and Teasing You with Upcoming PKNs

May 21st, 2012

PKN Curitiba Vol. 1

Presentations
We kick off a new week of presentations with one from Curitiba (Vol. 1) and one from Cork (Vol. 3). In “Underground Food” (in Portuguese), Guilherme Caldas takes us on a tour Curitiba’s lesser known culinary highlights. If you’ve been feeling like you need to get a bit more excitement in your day, try following Niall Doherty and his “Random Acts of Courage.”

PKN Mendoza Vol. 4

Posters
We’ve got a few new posters on our Tumblr blog, including the ones for PKN Mendoza Vol. 4 (above), PKN London Vol. 6, and PKN Dnipropetrovsk Vol. 1, which debuts tomorrow.

Videos
Instead of sharing photos today, and since there seems to be an absolute boom in these, today we share a few teaser videos that have been produced for PKNs — we love them so much that we often play some at our PKNs here in Tokyo. Below, teaser videos for PKN Curitiba Vol. 2, PKN Tel Aviv Vol. 13, and PKN Lisbon Vol. 14.

Build in London

Michael C. Place of Build presented at last week’s PechaKucha event at the Design Museum in London, and in this blog post, he walks us through each image of his presentation. Here’s the description for the image above (slide #2):

I got this holy-grail of design books whilst working at The Designers Republic. We were asked to work the weekend on a job and were offered money, or a copy of ‘Mode en Module’, everyone chose the book. Mine is especially dear to me as it’s signed by Wim (the only other thing I have ever asked to be signed was a Harlem Globetrotters catalogue in 1985!).
