RESEARCH
Since the doctoral thesis, the research activity is focused on drawing as a detectable element of design, which manifests itself in the formal characterization of the project in the different scales of landscape, architecture, and ornament, investigating the relationship between form and geometry in construction, the archetypes and formal invariants of the project.
She collaborated in research with ministerial funding at the universities of Florence, Palermo, Parma, and coordinated research projects at the University of Parma and Politecnico di Milano, deepening the study of the applications of descriptive geometry to the design and simulation of the artificial space in the Architectural Perspective.
