“A
passionate designer and researcher who is eager to delve into the futurescapes of the city, by
imagining and exploring the possible trajectories of its co-evolution with the various human dimensions of everyday life. His fascination and inspiration emanate from the urban cultures that appear
through, both the habitual and novel, socio-spatial patterns in public spaces. His work instigates this
vision by trying to understand how spaces, people, machines, networks and affects are enmeshed together, producing both the local urban tapestry and the planetary urbanism on a higher level of complexity.
