He has led research on acclaimed projects across the globe, establishing design paradigms that fuse rigorous academic analysis with practical application. His multidisciplinary approach incorporates research, writing, curation, and photography. He has developed scenography, curated numerous international exhibitions, and authored or contributed to a wide range of critical publications. In 2010, he established the Bureau of Cultural Investigations, a research agency synthesizing his academic pursuits, theoretical advancements in archival practices, and extensive professional expertise developed over the previous decade. This endeavor has enabled him to attain a profound and expansive command of varied epistemological paradigms, ranging from early history to contemporary architecture, art, furniture, fashion design, and geography, together with anthropological, historical, racial, gender, queer, religious, and cultural theories.

His focus and responsibility were to conduct original research based on thoroughgoing investigations of history, theory, philosophy, culture, and the interpretations of future thinking into a strategic advantage for spatial design responses, cultural and social impact - work that was integrated into all aspects of the design process, supporting the practice international projects and competitions. He is a lecturer at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, where he mentors and supervises advanced research methodologies within architectural practice. He regularly conducts workshops and delivers critical evaluations at distinguished academic institutions and professional forums internationally.
