My current research turns increasingly toward soil, ecological systems, and spatial transformation—examining how the built environment can reconnect with living processes, and how design can support more regenerative, resilient forms of urban life. These perspectives inform my lectures, which bridge architecture, urbanism, and ecology.
I offer public lectures for universities, cultural institutions, conferences, and professional audiences.
Recent and popular topics include:
Permaculture in Architecture
Exploring the spatial typologies of architecture and urban development that creates synergies with ecological principles.
The Garden as Ethical Infrastructure
Rethinking green spaces as active systems of care, responsibility, and shared cultural value.
The Self-Made City
Lessons from participatory housing and citizen-driven development, and their role in shaping more diverse, adaptable cities.
