Intervention research projects with national and international partners outside the university (FAPESP, CAPES, DAAD). He prioritizes themes related to the use of documentary film as a means of research; contemporary urban dwellings and their history; architecture, parameterization and digital culture; BIM and design processes; computerization of everyday life on the scales of the body [wearable computing], the object [furniture with integrated media], building [the building as communication interface] and the city [computerized urban fragments], cultural policies; furniture design; online platforms in participatory decision-making processes for urban interventions.
