He works on restoration projects in France and abroad, including the restoration of the Roman triumphal Arch in Orange, the Roman Hemicycle in Orange (Vaucluse), the Courthouse in Carpentras (a project combining the conservation restoration of historic rooms with 17th an 18th century decor and the complete reconfiguration of the building), and the façades of the Villa Bonaparte in Rome....

The aim of his study was to broaden the scope of his refection to include new responses adapted to the emergency context, both in terms of stabilizing buildings and affected areas, and devoloping future means of protection and prevention.
