In celebration of Architecture Month, the Hawai’i Island Section of the Honolulu Chapter of the American Institute of Architects will host three Big Island film presentations in April.

The 2016 presentations includes a double feature of Alejandro Aravena’s “The Power of Synthesis” and Olmsted and America’s “Urban Park.” Each film explores the power of design in creating positive transformation in communities.

On Thursday, April 14, the film will be shown at the Donkey Mill Art Center in Kona at 6 p.m., followed by a 5:30 p.m. showing on Thursday, April 21 in Waimea at the W.M. Keck Observatory Headquarters’ Hualalai Learning Center Theater, and ending at the Hawai’i Innovation Center in Hilo at 5:15 p.m. on Friday, April 29.

All three showings are free and open to the public.

AIA Honolulu began in 1926 and has offered the film showings as part of Architecture Month since 2006.
