P E N U M B R A

Hi!

The word Penumbra implies uncertainty. This is perhaps the most significant characteristic of the planning and design profession. At any specific scale and within any specific disciplinary field, planning and design entails collection, interpretation, synthesis, communication and management of huge masses of multidisciplinary information as a prelude of the eventual decision-making phase.

P E N U M B R A is the private press of mine where thoughts, reflections, comments and anecdotes of an assortment of works and words on planning and design of built environment will be published. Contributions range across vast subject areas and diverse scales; from architecture to regional and territorial planning. The contents will however be primarily based on, inspired by or addressing my actual works and studies. 

My primary intention is to motivate myself to articulate my perceptions, ideas and opinions in a semi-structured manner as well as to communicate my word to a broader public through a fairly accessible, flexible and somehow interactive platform.

Cheers,
