Research Interests
My research interests include Greco-Roman architecture and urbanism, monumental architecture, urban planning, ritualisation of space, monumentalization and scenography of urban landscape.
In particular, I focused on the architecture of passage (i.e. propylon, monumental arch on the street and urban gateway) and the questions of urbanism, scenography and ritualisation of the urban landscape which refer to the circulation within the urban space and to the privileged visual axes (architectural conceptualisation and privileged angles of approach) which conditioned the circulation circuits of the visitors (i.e. the processional ways). The question of circulation in urban space thus refers to the notion of "lived space" and to the ritualisation of space (space organised/impacted by religious ritual) and thus to the role of architecture as an active agent in the magnificence and ritualisation of actions in a sacred reason.
