...magazine. "Even though it was the middle of the summer, no-one had heard of Pecha Kucha, and we didn't advertise at all, both events were total sellouts." Last month, the city hosted its biggest Pecha Kucha yet, with 1,500 aficionados greeting such creative luminaries as Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and Tunisian-born designer Tom Dixon. "It's new, it's improvised and chaotic," says Viktor Oldiges, organizer of the recently launched Shanghai evenings. That certainly doesn't sound like any presentation we've sat through before.

...from emerging as one of the sanest accommodation choices in Taipei. Style-conscious guests will recognize the Philippe Starck and Ferruccio Laviani furnishings throughout the property, yet local design talent takes most of the credit for the beautifully sparse look of the city's first truly hip hotel. Taiwanese architect Wei-Min Lee has housed Ambience in a 10-story neon-lit tower; local designer Ted Su (the man responsible for the look of Taipei's popular group of Roxy bar-clubs, as well as newer venues like TU and Wind) is the originator of the hotel's cool...
