Personal profile

Profile information

I am an Architect, Doctoral Researcher and Teacher in Sustainable Housing Design, and a member of the Sustainable Housing Design research group ASUTUT and part of the Spatial Socialization and Environmental Citizenship Research Collective SPECS & the Interdisciplinary Network of Environmental and Sustainability Education Research SIRENE.

I'm interested in developing architecture education through perspectives of environmental education, and especially interested in exploring paths for integrating empathy and care as starting points of architects’ professional identity and praxis. My doctoral research focuses on the (professional) values and cultures transmitted through architecture education and their connection to architects’ ability to work within planetary boundaries and to promote eco-social justice. 
 
My passion is in exploring paths for transformative learning beyond the status quo of architecture education and extending these discoveries towards resilient, responsive and democratic cultures of learning and practicing architecture in the climate emergency.
