The research focueses on the often invisible conditions of architectural labour and the systems that shape how we build today.
Through research and public organising, it makes these dynamics visible and supports workers in developing fairer collective practices.

KEEP ME IN EINDHOVEN
Design Project
Scale: Urbanism
Location: Eindhoven, The Netherlands

However, many of the people plan to stay in Eindhoven only for short term periods, as the city offers a lot in terms of education but leaves with few opportunities of professional life. Therefore, many great and skilled people leave Eindhoven after about two years and try to pursuit their careers in other cities, mostly in Rotterdam.
The project calls for spatial change. The proposal merges the two great forces of Eindhoven, but the merge goes beyond a conversation and applies pilot spatial development within the biggest scientific force of the city – High Tech Campus.

Scale: Architecture and Urbanism
Location: Catania, Italy
2022
Located on the eastern coast of Sicily, Italy, at the base of the Mount Etna, Catania has long been subject to the island’s powerful natural forces, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Over the centuries, these challenges have led to significant spatial transformations and adaptations within the city.
This research, forming the foundation for a potential design intervention, focuses on the historical evolution of Catania's waterfront. By examining key sections where land meets water, we highlight the most critical transitions and the persistent difficulties in integrating the city's marine environment with its Baroque- and later- urban structures
