I carry out archival research to reconstruct a building's material history. Sourcing historical maps, technical drawings, photographs, and municipal records, I can date phases of construction, renovation, and alteration. Through documentation, I can identify the chronological layers, original or later additions, cross-referencing archives and literature with on-site inspection of materials and structural elements. This kind of documentation is useful groundwork for renovation, heritage assessment, or any project that needs a clear record of a building's physical layers before design decisions are made.

I reconstruct a landscape's design history through historical maps, estate archives, aerial photography, and site surveys, tracking changes to layout, planting schemes, water features, and boundaries across different historial periods. I can identify surviving historical elements versus later interventions, and trace design authorship to specific landscape architects or garden styles where the archival record allows it. This gives designers a documented basis for conservation planning, restoration decisions, or adapting a landscape while respecting its historical structure.

I research the planning history of urban areas through literature, archival maps, photography and municipal records, tracing how zoning, infrastructure, and building typology canged over time. I can document why specific urban forms exist and identify overlooked historical layers that may be relevant to a current redevelopment or heritage designation. This research can support studios working on urban renewal, heritage-sensitive masterplanning, or public space redesign.

My research on modern and contemporary art focuses on gathering documentation and information on the development in history of art related to: an artist or brand, a social or political topic, and a material technique. This is useful for design studios working on cultural projects, exhibition content, or design/history publications that need accurate art-historical grounding.
