Discover innovative home renovation projects with the Don't Move, Improve! Awards winners.

Join us for a captivating PechaKucha event hearing from the winners of the Don't Move, Improve! Awards. Experience transformative renovation journeys in concise, dynamic presentations, fostering a vibrant exchange of ideas and inspiring ways of reinventing the home.

The PechaKucha format (ペチャクチャ), was devised in Tokyo in 2003 by the English architect Mark Dytham and has turned into a massive global celebration of design, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. The format makes presentations concise, keeping things moving at a rapid pace and holding its audience.

This event is part of NLA's Don’t Move, Improve! programme, and

the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) 2025.
