Misagh Mottaghi

PhD student

Misagh is an architect and urban designer. She was doing her PhD at the department of Architecture and Built Environment at Lund University and Sweden Water Research. In her research, she reviewed sustainable urban flood management approaches in everyday life, by focusing on the use dimension.

She borrowed the notion of care to critically discuss the (co)beneficiality of blue-green solutions through relational human-nonhuman perspectives and through qualitative and quantitative methods. In addition, she teached and held lectures in different courses at the university and supervised master thesis students.

She defended her thesis ‘Carescape of blue-green solutions in everyday life: Exploring the socio-materiality of a technical infrastructure’ in November 2023, read more about that on this link.
