    Dr. Pereyra area of expertise is the trans-disciplinary study and comparison of phenomenological and hermeneutical aspects in architecture and ritual, in a multidimensional perspective, across philosophy, art forms, place and space. Since 1985, his academic focus has been the interaction of ritual activities and space, in order to strengthen the dialogue between contemporary life, culture, and the rites of everyday life. In his both theses at the University of Toronto, he worked to investigate how to free boundaries in space and in communication. The aim of his research is to discover ways in which rituals and art expressions can deepen the experience and knowledge, and increase accessibility, for people in vulnerable situations.
