After referring to his education and studies in Mexico, the US and abroad,Inaki Echeverría expressed his personal disbelief in the concept of the much discussed “global” which he believes has already exhausted itself, yet stressed his interest in the very concept of “demarcation”. For Echeverría, globalization is not so much a continuation of the world wide process of internationalization but of demarcation practices of “worldification” which he also regards as the focal point of research for future work at ANCB. Echeverría further argued for a younger generation of architects, for whom information per se is not the pivotal question in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather the interactive procedure of exchange – which in return not only fosters the emergence of new practices in architecture but also grant a right to the possibility of uncertainty.
