Territory, city and spatial justice
My research focuses on the relationship between people and territory, spanning participatory planning, territorial modelling with children, the right to the city, spatial justice and the educating city.
App · Hydro-geomorphological risk simulator for Portugal
Solo
An app that simulates, at any point in mainland Portugal, what happens to a real river basin during a storm — and its concrete impact on population and infrastructure.

Project · Evaluation tool
TargetWise
A digital take on the “dartboard” — a simple, effective participatory evaluation tool. Each segment of the target stands for a dimension and proximity to the centre reflects the rating, giving an instant visual read of performance. It was designed above all to support the evaluation of participatory spatial modelling processes.

App · Sea-level rise in Portugal
Costa
Simulates, at any point along Portugal's coast, mean sea-level rise and coastline retreat under the IPCC emission scenarios (SSP1-2.6 to SSP5-8.5), for a chosen time horizon.

Other strands of work
Participatory planning
Methods and artifacts to involve communities — especially children — in reading and transforming space.
Spatial justice
How the design of territory distributes (or denies) rights, and which tools make it visible.
Educating city
The city as a pedagogical resource and the school as an agent of critical territorial reading.
