His research is concerned with the relationships between architecture and the contemporary city, focusing on how the form of the city and the architecture of its buildings help enable diversity, economic and cultural sustainability, and resilience. Through his teaching of design studios, lecture courses, and seminars that examine architectural contexts of culture and place, his students view architecture as strongly anchored in the worlds of people, cultures, and geography.
