Faculty & staff

My research in the last ten years is focused on complex systems at the intersection of technological and social forces, and the way new understandings in this area are rapidly upturning some of the fundamental assumptions of existing paradigms of thought. Urbanizing ecosystems, together with social networks, and the emerging phenomena of collective intelligence are fundamental examples of the necessity for an integrated and pluralistic frame to understand the immensely complex layers of the socio-technological world. In my lectures the aim is to clarify and center the correlations among this area of studies, future scenarios, and the critical role of Design across a growing span of territories in an increasingly human dominated world.
