This lecture is being led by Adamo-Faiden which is an architectural firm established in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Whose practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions, talk about how the realm of finance and risk management involves the identification, analysis, and mitigation of uncertainty, all of which are necessary for, and inseparable from financial return and performance. The speakers also go over and explore different topics/questions on How can architecture become an instrument of risk management, capable of wielding influence over economics and politics rather than being at the whim of both? And how a discipline that has traditionally been thought of in material and cultural terms be reconsidered in financial and socioeconomic ones?
Although the field of architecture likes to think it is cutting-edge, adamantly liberal, and on the forefront of history, we still look towards the compulsive tendencies of the glorified visionary, their revolutionary thoughts, illuminating process, and iconic vision. This historiography is, in and of itself, an obsession - fetishizing personas, establishing camps, crafting a storyline that awards persuasion and trend over quality and sincerity. In the longstanding tradition of self-made, winner-take-all fanaticism, now more than ever do we see a craving for attention that is pulling (or rather dragging) the field even further from its core values and closer to soulless squander.
