z-est for philosophy

Since 2009 Daniel is working on a subject of cross sections of philosophy and architecture. He writes about potentiality of architecture as the "other language", which could be able to describe / translate the discourse of philosophy by three dimensional forms and their combinations. However, he is deeply involved in political aspects of architecture.

His paper The Impossibility of Architecture in Post-Colonial Canada was published in Dark Matter an international peer-reviewed journal (ISSN 2041-3254). His video lectures: "Ten Insights in Architecture" will be released soon on You Tube.

He was also invited for Nuit Blanche, @ Design Exchange, Toronto (29 September 2012).

He attended the following conferences:
