Graduated in architecture at Roma Tre University in 2004, he’s been working with VELUX Italia for 12 years, first as a technical consultant and then as a training specialist. Since 2017, he’s been involved in research, consultancy and especially training on the issue of natural lighting in architecture, providing courses and workshops for professionals and students all over Italy. He has active collaborations with Roma Tre University and Politecnico di Milano and since march 2021 writes a regular column on the renowned monthly magazine Arketipo, where he investigates and comments projects and processes connected to professional daylighting design in architecture. He’s particularly interested in the way daylight and sunlight are normally conceived and used in ordinary projects, especially residential buildings (both new buildings and renovations) and in the way this topic is treated in cultural and academic contexts but especially by small design firms and single architects while they deal with local and national standards, regulations and approval processes, local market. In the last few years, he’s trying to build a methodology for reading the relationship between daylight and the built space and to drive the architectural process in a consistent way, based on quantitative tools and visual categories and supported by a continuous research on language and definitions.
