Phnom Penh, Cambodia – On 12 February 2026, Paragon International University’s Alumni Affairs office, in collaboration with the Department of Architecture hosted the latest “Coffee Talk” series. The event featured Mr. Ruben Castillero Mortera, Head of the Department of Architecture, for an engaging evening of mentorship and community building.


An engaging and forward-looking session brought together Mr. Ruben Castillero Mortera and our architecture alumni for an open exchange of insights, experiences, and professional reflections. The conversation highlighted how the software skills taught during their studies continue to support them in practice, while strong design fundamentals have opened pathways beyond conventional architectural roles — from landscape specialization to interior design and other evolving career directions.



Joined by our Alumni from ARC departments, the session reflected both the solid foundation of our Architecture program and our shared commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring graduates are well-prepared to adapt, innovate, and lead in diverse design fields.

We can’t wait to welcome more alumni to join is in our next “Coffee Talk”, where great minds, new ideas, and warm conversations meet.
