Los Angeles, CA (February 23, 2016) -- SCI-Arc is pleased to announce MAIN EVENT 12 will take place March 12, 2016 at Sound Nightclub in Hollywood. This annual event marks the first under the leadership of SCI-Arc’s fifth director, Hernan Diaz Alonso. On par with the exuberant optimism Hernan imparts to SCI-Arc’s ever expanding reach into the most influential areas in design and creativity, Sound Nightclub is the perfect venue to host the Institution’s most anticipated annual event of the year.

Each year, MAIN EVENT brings together leading architects and designers, developers, civic leaders, architectural patrons and philanthropists to raise scholarship funds for students of SCI-Arc. A vibrant epicenter of exploration, collaboration and thought-provoking discourse, SCI-Arc has made it a priority to encourage the community of Los Angeles to engage with innovative ideas in architecture, design and the built environment.

There will be a 3-D print auction by renowned architects Frank Gehry, Neil Denari, Wolf D. Prix, Eric Owen Moss, Thom Mayne, Barbara Bestor (M.Arch ’92) and Hernan Diaz Alonso among other esteemed members of the international architecture and design community.
