He has examined the roles of precedents, typology, analogy, schematization, abstraction, serial approaches, and the figures of myth and utopia in architectural conception. Co-founder of the Potential Architecture Laboratory (L.E.A.P.) at the Université de Montréal in 2002, he has contributed to the establishment of the Catalogue of Canadian Architecture Competitions (CCC) and has an interest in the role of architectural competitions in shaping contemporary collective imaginaries.
