Projects

The PhD research “Amplified Realities: Architectures of Control” explores the shifting relations between bodies, media technologies, and lived environment – the concrete entanglement between abstract space-time and social realities – through a spatial and diagrammatic approach based on sound and signal processing. It takes a transdisciplinary path across architecture, philosophy, sound studies, and sonic practice, and combines a theoretical and design-driven approach, which involves the realisation of spatial designs and site-specific sound installations.
