Education and career

Cardona entered the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico and was a member of its first graduating class, obtaining a B.Arch in 1972. He was a design professor in the UPR (1974–1984) and was principal at Segundo Cardona Architects before co-founding in 1984 Sierra Cardona Ferrer (now known as SCF Architects) with partners Luis Sierra and Alberto Ferrer. [2] [3] He has remained active in academic and civic affairs. In addition to teaching architectural design at the University of Puerto Rico, Cardona has been a guest lecturer, visiting professor and juror at diverse institutions and universities including North Carolina State University School of Design, The Catholic University of America, The Contemporary Museum of Art in Puerto Rico, The Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, and the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Architecture. [4] He is also a past president of the Puerto Rican Architects Association or Colegio de Arquitectos y Arquitectos Paisajistas de Puerto Rico (CAAPPR). In 2001, Cardona became a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Puerto Rico, and was President of the Board from 2004 to 2007. An architectural monograph covering thirty-five years of his work was published in 2008. [5] In 2013, Cardona won a competition to rebuild the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. [6] In 2017, he participated in the UIA World Architects Congress in Seoul and received the Public Space Award for his design of the Paseo Puerta de Tierra, a promenade that connects two important tourist destinations in Puerto Rico.
