Mark Dytham, Astrid Klein | TEDxTokyo 2009
Tokyo-based but global in mindset, architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture design everything from public spaces to private places for clients such as Uniqlo, Selfridges, Virgin Atlantic and Bloomberg. Known for their astute eye for the fresh, in 2003 they gave Tokyo’s design community Pecha Kucha Night, a networking forum where young creatives can interact and show their work. Pecha Kucha’s potent conversation about things creative has gone viral; now running in 180 cities, it spawned over 350 events in 2008 alone.
