About me
Hi! My name is Mario, I'm an architect (M.Sc.) and Doctoral Researcher at the faculty of built environment, school of architecture. I gravitate towards everything that is second hand, that has a history, not only in my personal life but also in my work where I study the secondary resource potential of building stocks. Naturally, the principles of a circular economy are at the very heart of my research and for me, applying these means to prioritize the maintenance of existing building values.
