Celebrate Architecture Month with a free movie Saturday
The Hawaii Island Section of the Honolulu Chapter of the American Institute of Architects celebrates Architecture Month in Hawaii with free public showings of the film “Grand Paris – The President and the Architect.” This movie documents French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s ambitious plan to develop Le Grand Paris for the 21st century. The film follows as he works with Dutch architect Winy Maas over the course of one year to create a sustainable city that embraces nature. Island architects hope the film will serve as a launching point for further public discussion about design in Hawaii.
The film will be shown at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Donkey Mill Art Center in Holualoa. The Waimea screening is set for 5:30 April 27 in the Hualalai Conference Room at the W.M. Keck Observatory Headquarters.
