Alternative Pop hosts an art exhibition at the Paul Cejas School of Architecture, bringing together students and artistic mediums.
On Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 pm, students and guests joined several architectural organizations in the BEA Gallery to view a multimedia art exhibit.
The free event, which adds to the excitement of the evening, is hosted by four student-led architecture organizations including: Alpha Rho Chi, the American Society of Architecture Students, the American Society of Landscape Architects, and the National Minority Architecture Student Organization at Florida International University.
Senior architecture major Dora Otano and president of Alpha Rho Chi told PantherNOW the original intention of hosting the event.
“[In] “In architecture school, we really focus on the positives, but we don’t focus on the negatives. You’ll find us here at three in the morning working on our craft… This event really gave us a chance to relax ,” Otano said.
This auditory art exhibition is part of the Architectural Society’s third annual collaboration to unite architecture students and promote creative expression.
Architecture veteran Chelsea Abela, co-president of the International Association of Interior Designers, spoke about the efforts to create the exhibition.
“We each created different promotional graphics to try to get people outside of the architecture and even the project more involved. It started as a way for architecture students to showcase what they were doing outside of the studio,” Abella explain.
Abella also commented that artists competed for arcane awards and certifications, which were awarded by judges who walked around the exhibition and took notes.

Many students were not even aware of the event but were attracted to it because of the music, such as nursing major Pius Arquillo.
“I actually came here not knowing this was a thing. I just skated around… and I knew a few guys here,” Aguero said.
The band, local South Florida musicians from Broward known as the “Borin Brothers,” is an alternative pop band made up of blood brothers.
Marcelo Borin, father and band manager, spoke about the band’s purpose.
“We are here to have a good time. We are here to serve you [FIU students]. We love entertaining people. “
Some students were surprised to see their friends’ art in the gallery.
“I’m enjoying this. I know a few people here and they all have their own art,” Aguero said.

“It was the first time I fell, and it was hard… it was the first time I experienced heartbreak,” Diego said.
The event attracted many students and was an exciting end to the evening, giving us a glimpse into the future where the Architectural Association will be working together again.
