Free talk on contemporary architecture today in SM

A FILIPINO-American architect based in New York will conduct a free talk on contemporary architecture today at 3 p.m. at the Conference Hall of SM City Cebu.

Carlos Arnaiz, the speaker, is the architect behind the new and bigger Boracay International Airport and the soon-to-rise Shrine of Mary, Mother of God church at the SM Seaside City complex at the South Road Properties in Cebu City. The 1,000-seat church stands on a 2,220-sqm lot of SM Prime Holdings.

Arnaiz, who finished architecture at Harvard University, has been practicing his profession for more than 12 years now.

After working for a number of firms in the US, he put up his own architecture firm in Brooklyn, CAZA or Carlos Arnaiz Architects, almost four years ago, and now employs associate architects from all over the world.

Arnaiz has ongoing projects in Colombia, Brazil and Taiwan.
