- On the Discipline of architectural design: as architectural design teacher works on the exercise of the project as a theoretical practice, with emphasis on the reasons and methods for the study of the architectural organism: from the analysis of diagrammatic form, structure, figures and languages, space, light and interiors, to the study of the primary architectural components such surfaces, volumes and elements.
- On Reuse: this research field, started with the interiors, has also explored the different scales of architectural design, from the building scale to the addition of the existing forms, to push the boundaries of fences between buildings to explore the themes of regeneration of areas included among infrastructure segments and abandoned buildings. The research topic interweaves the experience of handling project hired as the crossing of the existing process to investigate its transformative potential.
