She exhibits, lecture’s and writes about her draw­ing prac­tice from with­in the dis­ci­pline of archi­tec­ture. The research is dri­ven by projects in col­lab­o­ra­tion with an inter­na­tion­al net­work of archi­tects and the­o­rists to build knowl­edge on arte­fac­tu­al agency in process­es and results.

My research adopts a crit­i­cal approach to the­o­ries regard­ing the rela­tion­ship between social forms and mate­r­i­al forms. This has brought me to study how archi­tec­ture and archi­tec­tur­al thought con­struct ideas about the body (gen­der, hand­i­cap, age­ing), the inten­tions and effects of sus­tain­able urban mobil­i­ty projects (modal shift, active modes, social mix­i­ty), and the con­trasts between politi­ciz­ing archi­tec­ture as form and politi­ciz­ing archi­tec­ture as process.
