Master degree in Architecture, PhD in “Survey and Representation of Architecture and Environment” (VI cycle, Napoli). Full Professor (ICAR 17- Representation & Drawing) at the University of Padova, where he is Coordinator of the Master Degree Program in Building Engineering and Architecture (single cycle). He is responsible of the Laboratory of Drawing and Representation (LDR) and the Laboratory of Information Modeling (LIM) at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering (DICEA). He is also responsible for the survey, representation, and digital rendition of the university’s campus. Member of the Scientific Committee of the Unione Italiana del Disegno – UID and member of the Steering Committee of the international joint research Visualizing Venice (DUKE University, Padua University, IUAV Venice University - visualizingvenice.org), his researches deal with: • Geometric-configurative interpretation of architectural surfaces: the construction of Padua domes; • Representational codes for the verification of landscape design; • New “tools” for the Architectural and Urban Historic Transformations Visualization and Multimedia Representation.
He published several essays on the theory and history of methods of representation, dealing, most recently, with the use of ICT for research in the field of interoperable representation (BIM).

Thesis proposals

The thesis topics are the following:

- Digital Stereotomic (gemetrical/configurative and structural interpretation of historical and contemporary architectural artifacts involving the concepts of Stereotomy);
- Algorithmic Descriptive Geometry (an algorithmic reproposition of coded representation systems);
- Visualizing Cities (inside the international research project "Visualizing Venice / Visualizing Cities", the proposal is to read the historical transformations of a "piece" of the city and its architectures through advanced representation and communication systems);
- Scan-to-BIM (research of effective methods for the trajectory of survey data of an architectural artifact in BIM interoperable modeling, also in relation to the interpretation of the history of the building or the surveying of its decay).
