Its current focus lies in reuse, the ecology of the built environment and collective design intelligence.

He has taught architecture and urban transformation at ETH Zurich, Hanyang University, and the University of Galicia. Previously, he led the urban research agenda at IDMC, directing projects on urban development strategies, and policy on human migration.
