About 

I care about design. Unfortunately, various developments in the global economy and in national legislative practice since the 70's have created incredibly adverse effects to Architecture. I hope to change that. 

To that end, as a professional my goal is to bring added value to both clients and architecture offices through strategic thinking and a nuanced understanding of the built environment's relation to ever changing forms of technology and media. My main area of personal research at the moment concerns two main and inter-related themes:

 

Practice of Architecture: New Business Models, Strategic planning and Risk Management

Social Media: Extending the Experience for the User / Client
