Goals and motivations
I have a background in Physics and my interest in the environment, science, materials and substantially in the people’s needs, led me to start the MSc in Architecture: Advanced Environmental and Energy Studies at the Centre for Alternative Technology (University of East London).
I am currently doing some shelter designs for the Philippines and other independent research-collaborations and applications for international fundings. I am specialising in materials for construction and their properties for extreme climatic conditions. Also, I am interested in off-grid/rural projects and self sustainability.
