Research topic: Sociodigital Futures of Buildings and Urban Spaces
My research focuses on the production of sociodigital futures of buildings and urban spaces by exploring the imaginaries, visualities and materialities of digital organisational and planning tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM). In this context, I am particularly interested in more-than-human interactions, the connections between digital and physical spaces, and future-making practices. By emphasising digital construction tools as socio-technical assemblages, my research aims to integrate an approach rooted in actor-network theory and ethnographic as well as visual methods.
