Selected Case Studies
The following projects demonstrate an approach to complex creative challenges—from exhibitions and architectural storytelling to software design and contemporary art. Each explores how visual systems and thoughtful interaction can clarify relationships and create meaningful experiences.
About This Practice
These case studies reflect work developed over 15 years, spanning architecture (methodologies developed with Gehry Partners), cultural institutions (AGO, MOCA-LA, Danish Architecture Centre), and artistic research (Brain Terrains). The practice is grounded in systems thinking and informed by engagement with complex content, experimentation, and theoretical frameworks evolved from my Master’s degree in Industrial Design at Domus Academy, Milan.
The emphasis is on making complex systems legible—not by reduction or over-simplification, but by revealing the relationships that give them structure. My work has been recognized with awards and exhibitions at major international cultural venues. I continue design research into meta-relational approaches to AI, exploring conversational intelligence, language machines, and emergent systems as potentially paradigm-shifting cultural technologies.
