SMA Architecture Biennial, a space to reflect on the future of the city
Marcos Álvarez, president of the local College of Architects, said that the SMA Architecture Biennial is a celebration to reflect on the growth and direction of the city of San Miguel.
“We are an inspiration for the world. In many ways, the architecture that is here has been shown universally because it is a declaration. We are a destination for the best architecture,” he said.
Álvarez added the importance of maintaining a permanent dialogue from this event, declaring architecture as a driving force in understanding the city.
Among the most important events are conferences at the Ángela Peralta Theater, as well as the closing ceremony at the Casa del Mayorazgo, where the best slides of the contestants will also be presented during both days.
