Architects, artists converge to brainstorm disaster relief
MAMI MARUKO

The 52nd floor of the Roppongi Hills complex in downtown Tokyo was filled Saturday night with a high-spirited, energetic atmosphere as people gathered for a charity event to raise donations for survivors of the quake- and tsunami-ravaged Tohoku region.



More than 200 people gathered for "Global PechaKucha Day - Inspire Japan" to listen to architects, artists and musicians present their ideas for raising disaster-relief funds.

The same event was held at 92 locations around the world the same day, and most of them were streamed live on the Internet. During the Tokyo event, organizers held live chats with people taking part in the event in Sendai, Nagano and Christchurch, New Zealand.
