The KPF Lecture: Marcelo Faiden

The Department of Architecture welcomes Marcelo Faiden of the Buenos Aires architecture studio adamo-faiden for his lecture. Today's contingencies describe a fertile battleground for architecture. The lecture will speculate in how the position of the architect together with the design techniques could be updated to rise to the occasion. 

Marcelo Faiden is a founding partner of the architecture firm Adamo-Faiden and dean of the School of Architecture at Torcuato Di Tella University. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires and his postgraduate studies at the Barcelona School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, where he received his PhD in Architecture with his thesis “The low part of the high rise.” Adamo-Faiden's work has been extensively published in monographs in Japan, Germany, the United States, Spain, Italy, and Chile.
