Elio’s teaching practice, scholarship, and research contribute to the ethical, social, and environmental dimensions of scientific knowledge and technology, as well as to the field of More-than-Human Design. He is the co-author, with Professor Gordon Hush, of the forthcoming edited volume Design Beyond the Human: Transdisciplinary Conversations About the Planet (Bloomsbury, 2026). His contribution to practice-based research has been recognised through the acquisition of his projects into the permanent design collection of MoMA, New York.
