Questo percorso coinvolge neuroscienziati, studiosi, professionisti, architetti, e psicologi di tutto il mondo, in un percorso multidisciplinare orientato ad una progettazione science-based, in grado di fondere scienze umane ed architettura.

In 2010, he became part of the editorial staff of Anfione Zeto magazine, edited of Margherita Petranzan. In 2011, he had a collaboration with Politecnico University in Milan, at the “Elements for Critic the Contemporary Architecture.” In 2013, he published “The architecture of the differences” and promoted a Conference in Venice around “Questions of Perception”, the book wrote by Steve Holl, Juhani Pallasmaa and Alberto Perez-Gomez, in 1993. Two years later, he wrote with Vittorio Gallese Tuned Architecture an essay about the concept of embodiment in architecture.
