Project leader for the design and construction of three full-scale prototypes to investigate the use of wood for modern prefabricated, transportable and sustainable buildings: MAI, Ivalsa Modular House ( Sustainable Connected Home (with MEL-MIT Mobile Experience Laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology- Usa and FBK Fondazione Bruno Kessler-Italy; and XS Ivalsa Prototype (

Member of the team of the SOFIE-Construction System Fiemme research project (person in charge: prof. Ario Ceccotti) on sustainable buildings. This was carried out by the Cnr-Ivalsa with the support of the Provincia Autonoma di Trento (Italy) in order to define the performance and the potential of a construction system for multi-storey buildings whose load-bearing elements are massive wooden panels X-Lam (CLT) ( Research topics: seismic behaviour and high earthquake resistance, fire safety, procedures of architectural composition and construction phases design, building physics, acoustic performance, temperature and humidity assessment, energy efficiency. Member of the team of the mechanical characterization tests on X-Lam (CLT) panels. Project leader for the architectural research project on the procedures of architectural composition and design of buildings that use X-Lam (CLT) panels as their main structural element. Research topics: design of the different steps that must be taken by a designer in order to achieve perfect equilibrium between the generally accepted rules of technology and the new building material. Project leader for the executive design of a 2-storey X-Lam (CLT) building to study and define the main aspects that were investigated within the SOFIE project.
