I’ve been going to the ‘This happened…’ events whenever I am lucky enough to get a ticket and they never fail to amaze and inspire. I was a little disappointed, however, to miss a few very intriguing presentations which were made at the new Utrecht This Happened. Thankfully, no more!

The new version of the This Happened website is now online, with videos of all the previous presentations available to watch. Such as this great talk from Werner Jainek of Cultured Code, on developing ‘Things‘. I look forward to seeing what else is in-store for the site, and hope that slides from more events are made available; I remember particularly enjoying Troika’s presentation (http://www.thishappened.org/talks/troika-london-6/) and the slides they showed on the development and construction of ‘Cloud‘, and would love another chance to look over the sides again.

The prototype for ‘Cloud’, which now lives in Terminal 5 Heathrow, is currently on display at the Design Museum on South-bank (http://www.designmuseum.org/exhibitions/2009/brit-insurance-designs-of-the-year)(until 14th June) as part of the Brit Insurance Design Awards 2009, definitely worth checking out (for more info on this exhibition, and many others, check out the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year).
