Research interests

The focus in research and teaching is on urban design and architecture outside the metropolitan cores: new methods of analysis and design for an “architecture of territories” that aims to enhance sustainable dynamics of periphery for development paths and visions for liveable places. A cross-scale approach between architecture, urban planning, and territorial development addresses in particular the issues of innovation and resilience, in conjunction with new forms of communication and interaction on processes of strategy formation and co-design. Dynamics of periphery refer to spatial practices in urban peripheries and fragmented areas, as well as to new spatial constellations of metropolitan regions, urban-rural cooperation, diversified rural areas, touristic regions, mountain and coastal regions. New models for the construction of strategies, processes, and programmes of development, including mobility and infrastructure concepts, can help to give greater social value to spatial potentials and use them as a source of inspiration for circular territories.
