Community and social works
I have always had a keen interest in community building and support activities. In my opinion, the practice of architecture is never separate from those objectives, since architects create arenas in which social interaction is possible. This aspect is also manifested in my research endeavours, wherein I prioritize considering the social ramifications of any topic under investigation.
