For six years, he has been taught Ph.D. courses in Architecture and Urban Design for the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning of Politecnico di Milano, where he is co-creator of the International Exchange Program with New York Institute of Technology. He has been teaching at NYIT several design studios in the undergraduate and Urban and regional design studio in the graduate program since 2007. The key focus of his research is related to the shift of the Urban Design perspective towards a more articulated concept of Landscape Urbanism/Architecture, integrating its scale in a more complex dimension, which concerns several and differentiated constructed environments of post-industrial era, including also ecology, natural phenomena, producing lands, pollution, sophisticated technologies, and alternative energy processes. These elements delineate a new systemic and coordinated vision, defining landscape structures which include infrastructure, urbanism, agriculture, etc. The construction of a personal and critical experimental writing-language and a new methodological approach to read, understand and translate the present condition of our “multi-dimensional” environment (natural as well as built, historical as well as geographical) are characteristics of his approach, as detailed in his design proposals for several International Competitions, in his published essays and academic work as well.
