University of California at Davis graduate student, Nicholas D'Avella, working with the guidance of Dr. Donald Donham, will undertake research on how homeowners and architects respond to local changes in real estate investment practices under changing national and international economic conditions. The research will be conducted in Buenos Aires where real estate investment practices are remaking the material landscape of the city. In the years following Argentina's latest economic crisis, Buenos Aires has witnessed an intense construction boom driven by the redirection of investment capital and personal savings out of banks and into real estate. During this time, buildings have taken on an unprecedented significance as financial investments. New forms of financing construction have changed the work of architecture significantly, as the field's changing relationship with the market offers architects both new opportunities as well as new restrictions in the practice of their art. At the same time, the residents of neighborhoods most impacted by the boom have reacted strongly to changes in their lives, and have begun to protest against further construction. Research will be conducted at schools and professional conferences for both architects and investors; within an architectural studio; and in a rapidly changing Buenos Aires neighborhood. Data collection will involve a mix of archival research, surveys, ethnographic observation, and in-depth interviews.The research is important because it will help social scientists understand the different strategies that people use in a world of increasing economic globalization. It will also provide a better understanding of the material formation of contemporary cities, which speaks not only to the concerns of social scientists, but also to the residents of many cities today. The research will also contribute to the education of a social scientist.

加利福尼亚大学戴维斯大学研究生尼古拉斯·达·阿维拉（Nicholas D'Avella）在唐纳德·多纳姆（Donald Donham）的指导下工作，将研究房主和建筑师在改变国家和国际经济状况下如何应对房地产投资实践的当地变化。这项研究将在布宜诺斯艾利斯进行，其中房地产投资实践正在重塑城市的物质景观。 在阿根廷最新的经济危机之后的几年中，布宜诺斯艾利斯目睹了由投资资本和个人储蓄从银行和房地产储蓄的重定向驱动的强烈建筑繁荣。 在此期间，建筑物作为金融投资具有前所未有的意义。 新形式的融资建设形式已大大改变了建筑的工作，因为该领域与市场的关系不断变化为建筑师提供了新的机会以及艺术实践的新限制。 同时，受繁荣影响最大的社区居民对生活的变化做出了强烈反应，并开始抗议进一步的建设。研究将在学校和投资者的学校和专业会议上进行；在建筑工作室内；并在一个快速变化的布宜诺斯艾利斯社区。 数据收集将涉及档案研究，调查，人种学观察和深入访谈的混合。这项研究很重要，因为它将帮助社会科学家了解人们在增加经济全球化的世界中使用的不同策略。 它还将更好地理解当代城市的物质形成，这不仅说明了社会科学家的关注，而且还对当今许多城市的居民的关注。 这项研究还将有助于社会科学家的教育。
