Join us for Pecha Kucha Night, Vision 2074, which happens to be the 50th PKN hosted in our region and which also coincides with the 50th anniversary of  “Temporary Paradise?”

“Temporary Paradise?” was a pioneering plan that advocated for the San Diego Tijuana border region to become a “zone of confluence” that shares its economy, environment, and cultures. It advocated a future marked by sustainability, livability, and equity and is considered the preeminent planning tome written about our region in 1974.

With collaborators at San Diego State University and  the San Diego Architecture Foundation, we have put out a call to envision how we can plan for the next 50 years, using “Temporary Paradise?” as inspiration. Their ideas will help populate the PKN.

The theme for this PKN is  “50 Years Forward: Ambitious ideas to reshape our future

We invite you to present your best ideas for our binational region using poetic voices and engaging imagery. Be creative, fun, inspiring and even scandalous.
