Hi Robert

Apologies for cold contacting you. I was given your name by Linda Capper 
at the British Antarctic Survey.

I am inviting speakers for a Pecha Kucha event on Wed 2 Oct, 6-8pm at 
The Lighthouse, Glasgow.  The event is in association with the *Ice Lab: 
New Architecture and Science in Antarctica* exhibition which profiles 
the design of five case study research stations and highlights the 
cutting edge science that takes place in Antarctica.

For this event, taking inspiration from the Ice Lab exhibition, the 
theme (or starting point) is extreme/remote architecture, scientific 
research, exploration and climate change/, /where//a range of 
architects, academics, scientists, designers, artists and more come 
together to share what this means to them.

I would really like to include speakers with knowledge of climate change 
or antarctic/arctic scientific research, its impact and importance.  I 
wondered if you could help as this is not my area of expertise. Is this 
something you could help with or do you know another ideal person? I 
would also like to use some Scottish based participants and any help is 
much appreciated


PechaKucha is a format designed by architects in Tokyo, meaning ‘chit 
chat’ in Japanese. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal but the format 
is strict – you have 20 images and can speak about each for 20 seconds, 
making talks *6.40 minutes* long. They are great evenings and we get a 
good mix of audience.


There is already a good line up and other speakers including David 
Garcia, MAP architects, Copenhagen; Sandra Ross, Arts Catalyst, London; 
Scott Porter, Masters Architecture student, Glasgow and Dr Melody Clark, 
British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge.

Please give me a call or email if you need some more information. I look 
forward to hearing from you.

Best
Emma

Please note I work part time on Tue – Thurs.
