Since 2022 he teaches at the Vienna Institute of Technology at the Research Unit of Housing and Design and at the Research Unit for Architecture Theory and Philosophy of Technics -where since 2021 he is pursuing his PhD upon the relationship between Architecture and Communication, through the optics of Translation-.
His fascinations and researches spin around the conviction that architecture is a discipline founded on ideas and invariants, devoted to abstractly think about space(time) experience -at any scale- and to pragmatically act in the contemporary field through precision and inventiveness.
Graduated from Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in 2018, he is former research assistant at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and he collaborated with office Baukunst in Brussels and Lausanne between 2018 and 2021 and with Baracco+Wright Architects in Melbourne in 2016.
