I am a Senior Lecturer at the Portsmouth University of Architecture. I possess more than ten years of substantial academic experience in Architecture, Urban and Interior Design.

Previously, I have worked in international renowned firms in New York City, Madrid and Rotterdam. 

Research interests

My research focuses on architectural follies, small-scale structures, constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting by its appearance some other purpose. I investigate how this typology, and historical feature located on estates and then parks, has been denigrated and often forgotten. Historically design with a stylistic design, or the combination of some, is itself a cross-disciplinary subject that gravitates in the boundaries of architecture landscape architecture, urban design, engineering, and sculpture.
