He has published articles in Journal of Architecture, Interiors, A Prior Magazine and contributed to exhibition catalogues on post-Socialist urban transformations and spatial conflicts.

He has co-edited and authored “Environment, Projects, Concepts. Architects of the Tallinn School 1972-1985” (Estonian Museum of Architecture, 2008) and curated “Our Metamorphic Futures.
