RESEARCH PROJECTS
- Scientific Project (GIB/CITAR) "Science & Society:promoting citizenship through the reflection of ethical issues of life sciences"
- Research Project on "METAPLASTIC DESIGN:Virtual Worlds planning methodology between Arts and Design"
- Research Project with the European Community,Lombardy Region and Politecnico di Milano University,Architecture Faculty in "Security and health within building restoring yards"

VIRTUAL REALITY DESIGN
Research based on conceptual definition of virtual environments to enhance experiences about cultural information through artistic languages and activities.
XENSE:Project that proposes an interactive and immersive open-ended virtual space to experiment and to build learning constructs.The dialog is a link construction between the visitor's extended senses and the surrounding immaterial space.   Some other virtual spaces:  CONSTRUCTIVIST MODELEXPERIMENT 5IMAGINARY SPACE.
PHD THESIS:This thesis proposes an interdisciplinary approach that integrates different and complementary knowledge to obtain a fuzzy model methodology. This metaplastic languages generator and their poetic interpretation create virtual space artwork and its styles.

WORKSHOPS
"VIRTUALITY IN ARTS AND DESIGN":VIRTUAL EXHIBITION PROJECTS
The Workshop has obtained a Patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It discusses themes linked with creation and application of the virtual reality in the Arts and Craft, to produce and communicate cultural content.
The event gives an occasion to express and discuss different combination of art languages and industrial design planning.The meeting has involved professors and student from Ecole du Louvre and Politecnico di Milano University.
