He completed his architectural education at the Department of Architecture of the FCE at the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava under the guidance of visiting professor Pavol Paňák, co-founder of the architectural office A B.K.P.Š. where he completed 2-year internship shortly after school. In 2020, he successfully completed his doctoral studies by defending his final thesis entitled "Innovations in Spatial Planning Processes" and joined the Department of Architecture as a researcher and university teacher. He also applies the acquired knowledge and research on realisations in his own architectural practice within Orava region. In the academic field, he systematically deals with regional issues with a focus on the preservation of architectural heritage in northern Slovakia.

I have developed a wide-ranging practice, as an architect, teacher, writer, publisher, and initiator and curator of events and exhibitions. I have taught widely in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, including Sweden (Umeå) and Germany (Berlin, Bochum), where I had my own practice. My research focuses on performative practices which entangle knowledge, methodologies and techniques from various disciplines, including architecture, performance, geography, anthropology, and sociology. I am interested in the role architecture and its processes of production play in the construction of political practices and the establishment of the 'common'; in critical pedagogies inhering in embodied practices; and in research as intraventional. Much of my work in pedagogy and other areas of research draws particularly upon theories and views which are inclusive and nondual, performative in their diffractive mode, and are fundamentally about an ethical and responsible engagement with the making of the world with others.

Founder of atelier QUAGLIOTTO and Ph.D. with a thesis about danish architecture.

From the republic democratic of Congo practising in south Africa. 

My architectural philosophy consists of finding the right balance between being innovative,responsive, financially and enviromentally aware, in order to make good architecture accessible to all.

My Design process consist of 3 things:

1. Understanding the context 
2. Responding to the user needs
3. Exploring new ways of resolving issues from the first two points

I believe Architecture should be pushing its boundaries and that each building should not just be a functional structure but a unique answer to a social, a contextual or even an economical problem.

I represent Sto Group which is one of the major international manufacturers of products and systems for building coatings. Its business focuses first and foremost on external wall insulation systems (EWIS), a sector in which the company occupies a leading position, and also on rainscreen cladding systems (RSC). Also included in the facade systems product group are render and paint systems for external applications.

I am more of a consultant for architects. Sort of a "translator" between the architectural world and the thechnical one.

I would be delighted to provide you with more information if requested.

My architectural focus is on concept development and choice of materials.
