His research focuses on the emerging political ecology implementation in landscape planning and the social ecology deployment through various indigenous environmental mediation.. His recent projects decipher the globalisation of sustainable narrative and the foundation of localised citizen resistance to translate intangible landscape components in environmental design.

With the increasing illegibility of the environmental construction of our societies, he elaborates a Political Philosophy of Landscape to decipher the generation / de-generation; re-generation cogs of our fragile landscape mutation to produce ethical design and equitable planning.
