Long conversations about cities,
society, technology & culture.
Since 2022. In-depth interviews with people who think about how cities and societies work.
Commissioned studies, policy analysis and reports for public institutions and international organizations. Doctoral research at Université Gustave Eiffel (LATTS) — Paris.
Analyses and case studies from my doctoral research: public space, buildings, courtyards.

03 — Past WorkProgram coordination, course development and research at IAAC Barcelona, 2017–2023.
04 — LibraryReferences on heat, climate and cities — a growing library.
Selected written work from my doctoral research on how Paris adapts to urban heat.
How heat is problematized, governed and materialized in urban action — the actors, instruments and politics behind the city’s response.
In preparationStreets, squares and parks: what the city actually deploys, who decides, and how the materials perform.
In preparationThe interior of the Parisian block — an overlooked reserve of shade, ventilation and vegetation.
In preparationRenovation, solar protection, thermal performance, user behaviour — and the experiments still needed to know what works.
In preparationSupervised by Jonathan Rutherford & Martine Drozdz. MSCA-COFUND CLEAR-Doc fellowship.

A recurring finding of the research: cooling a city is not one policy. It is vegetation and shutters, insulation and fountains, behaviour and district networks — and the coordination it takes to make them work together. Click through the layers.

A selection from the reading behind the research — academic and not. Filter by theme. Growing regularly.
PhD candidate at Université Gustave Eiffel (LATTS), specializing in climate adaptation, urban heat and the socio-technical dimensions of sustainable cities — how governments, public institutions and technical experts design and implement adaptation strategies across infrastructure, buildings and climate governance. Background in qualitative research, stakeholder interviews, policy analysis and interdisciplinary collaboration; previously at IAAC Barcelona. Host of The Masterplan podcast. Open to working with international organizations and public and private institutions on climate adaptation, urban policy and sustainable development. English, French, Spanish, Greek.
