He is passionate about providing quality education to diverse communities. His approach is to maximize his investment of time and knowledge by drawing on his research and past experiences to develop an active learning environment that encourages students to ask questions and seek answers.
Claudio’s passion for architectural design in education is founded on a problem resolution methodology. The design process is a journey through which we problem solve, research, reflect and explore. The ever changing parameters that we are often called on to refine and source solutions whilst pushing the boundaries to produce quality outcomes and at times, from ambiguous briefings.
Claudio's designs identify spaces that are manipulated to perform specific functions in which the design resonates within the human psyche, beckoning human engagement. Claudio's belief is "That experience can give us the wisdom to shape the restraints of reality".
Moving through many of his completed architectural spaces it is evident he is able to portray and detail the design journey. His empathy to the essence of the client’s needs and requirements are defined in the unique designs and built outcomes. Claudio’s understanding of digital parametric software enables him to transition from sketch to 3D modeling incorporating (BIM) Building information management tools to communicate design and construction intent whilst staying true to the original essence of a design.

Claudio fosters a cross disciplinary approach to teaching which he incorporates in his delivery “In professional practice we collaborate with many differing specialists to produce quality outcomes why not encourage that philosophy from the beginning in our teaching". He has worked in collaboration with the Rmit Plumbing department and students on a joint venture proposal in the form of the Water Innovation Challenge Program. This won him an award for his contribution.
