AGBU Young Professionals of Buenos Aires Hosts Popular Cultural Events
Showcasing Armenian Architecture & Photography
Signature Hai Gallery Night Part of City of Buenos Aires Week of the
Arts
On September 2, 2011, the AGBU Young Professionals of Buenos Aires (YP
Buenos Aires) held an informative lecture on Armenian architecture with
over 50 young professionals and architecture students in attendance at
the AGBU Buenos Aires Center. The first speaker, architect and YP Buenos
Aires Steering Committee Member Armen Topalian, discussed his career and
the history of Armenian architecture, including the influences of the
Soviet Union. For the second portion, architect Ari Hadji, who is
working on the new Zvartnotz International Airport in Armenia, was
patched in via video conference to speak about the country's
architecture business, the difficulties in finding qualified employees
for jobs, legal complications, and building regulations.
Later in the month, from September 28 to October 1, YP Buenos Aires held
its signature, 2nd annual Hai Gallery Night at the AGBU Center, which
was a featured stop along the City of Buenos Aires Week of the Arts
circuit. This year's art exhibit, entitled "Armenia - Its People, Its
Landscapes, Its Culture, & Its Art," showcased photography by a dozen
local young photographers depicting the many facets and faces of
Armenia. The opening night was attended by over 100 guests, among whom
were non-Armenian art and culture enthusiasts, with another 200 guests
attending throughout the course of the exhibit.
An appropriate end to 2011, YP Buenos Aires celebrated its third
anniversary with an After-Office Mixer on December 15 at Koh Lanta.

non-profit Armenian organization. The AGBU Young Professionals
