His research and creative work centers on a study of Finnish architecture and design culture. Current work explores the representational qualities of past and present mapping techniques as capable of both providing orientation and carrying meaning through visual narratives. He is currently working on a book, 100 Maps of Finland, which explores the ways in which contemporary digital mapping systems permit a broad range ways of reading the image.
