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 second-hand, 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 put the maintenance of existing building values at the very top of the agenda.
