Worked at Michel Desvigne Paysagiste, Studio Paola Viganò, AART, AMAAAs a landscape architect and independent researcher, my practice explores the intersection of ecological resilience and anthropogenic environments, with a particular focus on the critical role of water in urban and natural systems. Water, in all its forms—from surface runoff to groundwater recharge, and from rainwater harvesting to flood mitigation—is at the heart of my approach to designing adaptive landscapes capable of withstanding and evolving with climate shifts.My research investigates the landscape design approach in an era of ecological volatility, questioning how project strategies can integrate uncertainty and transformation as foundational principles. This inquiry extends into the realm of visual representation, employing photography to critically document and reinterpret the evolving dynamics between designed landscapes and their socio-ecological contexts.
