FUTURE IMAGINARIES is an educational consultancy capitalising on my unparalleled expertise in architecture pedagogy, design, theory, criticism, history, and Utopian Studies. I offer bespoke workshops in Architecture — spanning Design, Theory, Criticism, and History — for both non-specialists and specialists interested in architecture as a discipline, whether simply curious, planning to study it, currently studying it, researching it at university, teaching it, or practicing it. 


The workshops support participants’ self-development, contributing to their satisfaction and marketplace desirability — whether getting into the best schools, joining the best firms, or designing the most impactful projects, or recollecting their early enthusiasm for architecture. Given my internationally recognised expertise, extensive publication record, and transformative impact in design teaching, my rates reflect the premium, research-driven, and highly valuable experience I facilitate. 


The cost structure for workshops ensures accessibility for younger participants and emerging professionals, while aligning with the top tier of CPD offerings for specialists, including bespoke architecture education workshops and consultancy for advanced and professional groups. No matter the age or experience of workshop participants, everybody benefits from my unique insights, often leading to transformative outcomes.



Analytique: ‘In the Beaux-Arts tradition the understanding of the role of detail as a generator ofthe character of buildings determined a very peculiar graphic means for the study of it, the analytique. In this graphic representation of a designed or surveyed building the details play the predominant role. They are composed in different scales in the attempt to single out the dialogue among the parts in the making of the text of the building. Sometimes the building as a whole is present in the drawing, and generally it is represented on a minuscule scale, and so it seems a detail among details.’ 


(Marco Frascari, ‘The Tell-the-Tale Detail’, Via 7, 1984, p. 24)
