SCI-Arc Community Celebrates Main Event 12 On March 12, nearly 250 members of the SCI-Arc community gathered at Sound Night Club in Hollywood to raise funds for the SCI-Arc Scholarship Endowment Fund. This year’s Main Event was the first under the new leadership of Director Hernan Diaz Alonso. Choosing to steer a different course, Diaz Alonso welcomed guests through a short film stating, “As you can notice this is not your usual fundraising gala.” With Board Chairman Tom Gilmore featured alongside, Diaz Alonso shared that his intent for Main Event 12 was to reflect the energized “young and dynamic spirit” of SCI-Arc. Another first—and a highlight of the evening—was the sold out silent auction of 3D printed works designed by renowned architects Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, Barbara Bestor, Wolf Prix, Neil Denari, Eric Owen Moss and Diaz Alonso.
