In Maastricht he was affiliated with TOPOS - Architecture Center Maastricht, where he was responsible for the communication, social media and the website. In addition to contributing to various publications about Architecture in Maastricht and organizing Architectural Tours, he was for many years involved in the "Art Tour Maastricht" where he took care of the "Architecture Program".
 
In the Algarve he is involved in architectural projects. As co-organizer of a number of photo exhibitions on "Modernist Architecture" in Tavira & Olhão and setting up Architectural Tours in Olhão, Faro, Tavira and VRSA.
