FEATURED AUTHOR
Nikolina Bobic
My research delves into the historical dimensions and theoretical concepts to do with spatial violence, balkanization, borders and territories, and conflict/post-conflict - how these notions manifest at the complex intersection of architecture, urbanism, military, media, economics, technology, literature and film.
Biography
I have a BA in Architecture and Sociology from the University of New South Wales, Australia. My PhD, which I completed at the University of Sydney, addressed the expansion and inflection of urbicide since its conception.I have written on matters to do with geopolitical and territorial fragmentation, urban destruction and reconstruction; spatial history of war, media, and technology; to, the politics of identity-(re)construction of former Yugoslav cities.
Prior to joining the University of Plymouth as a Lecturer in Architecture, I taught in Architecture and Sociology at the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales and the University of Technology. Currently, I am supporting the teaching in Architecture at HKU Space Architecture. In July, 2019 I was invited to teach in Architecture at the University of Auckland, NZ. My industry experience is in high-end residential architecture.
