Biography
Associate Professor Mirjana Lozanovska is an architectural educator, academic leader and researcher with international collaborations and professional experience and awards. Her executive roles include Associate Head of School International (2014-2016) in the School of Architecture and the Built Environment at Deakin University. In the period 2009-2014 she led the Socio-cultural Research Cluster and currently leads the Architecture Vacancy Research Lab (13 academic staff), generating a strong architecture research culture in the School. Her expertise in teaching and creative practice combine with critical research to shape her vision of twenty-first century architectural education preparing students for changeable professional futures.
Mirjana’s research is situated at the intersection of architecture and psychoanalytic, gender and postcolonial theories, to explore a core research question – how does architecture mediate human dignity? Her monograph Migrant Housing: Architecture, Dwelling, Migration (Routledge 2019) examines the impact of migration on architecture and is critical to understanding new forms of globalisation. Mirjana is currently investigating the space of labour with a focus on the BHP Steelworks in Port Kembla. This research is part of a collaborative project “Architecture and Industry: immigrants’ contribution to nation building 1945-1979” supported by the Australia Research Council Discovery Project with CIs in four institutions (University of Melbourne, ANU, University of Tasmania and Deakin). Mirjana leads the #Vacant Geelong project with a collaborative architecture-art team (Cameron Bishop, David Beynon, Anne Scott Wilson, Akari Nakai-Kidd; with Diego Fullaondo 2015-2018, Ciro Marquez 2017-2018). Vacant Geelong connects architecture with art and industry to go beyond the usual pragmatic utilisation of ex-industrial sites through engagement of the cultural and social memories of the vibrant communities these vacant sites embody. Its original, creative and research works (since 2015) have been awarded funding from Arts Victoria, Council of Greater Geelong and National Wool Museum.
She has published widely in journals including Journal of Architecture, Co-Design, Architecture Theory Review, Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review. She has presented invited lectures and peer reviewed conference papers in Japan, India, USA, Scotland, Ireland, Romania, and the Republic of Macedonia. She was Visiting Fellow at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje (2007) and the New York University (2018). Mirjana has contributed to the Australian Research Council as assessor and as ERA peer reviewer (2018); she reviews submissions for several journal and sits on the editorial board for Space and Culture: International Journal of Social Spaces and Interstices: journal of architecture and related arts. Mirjana is co-editor of the major architectural history journal Fabrications: JSAHANZ.

Research interests
1. #VacantGeelong is a non-traditional creative research project that responds directly to vacant industrial spaces and the memories that have shaped the culture of the town of Geelong. The decline of industrial towns is a global phenomenon. Regional cities and towns have been seeking to revitalise their identities. This project takes an alternative approach to this crisis.
#Vacant Geelong is developed by an effective, high performing, cross-faculty team: M. Lozanovska, D. Beynon, C. Bishop and D. Fullaondo. I lead the project, and invested initial work, original conceptualisation, but the immense team collaboration, commitment and dedication is rare and precious. #Vacant Geelong has four components:
Documentation: • mapping the level of VACANCY in Geelong: buildings, land, sites; and documenting Geelong’s industries - car manufacturing, ultra-fine wool manufacture, oil refinery, aluminium smelter, agriculture, Timber Sawmills; Paper, wool Mills, Pilkington Glass, Cement Works, Shipping industry.
Creative and Critical Exploration: 6 artists have been appointed to respond to the latent creativity of the blank canvas that constitutes abandoned industrial facilities. The project calls for a pause in the rapacious development of these spaces to focus artistic processes on the re-activation of memory and erasure.
Engagement: , and to community groups - including past Ford workers from Geelong's Macedonian Community, and the local artist communities.
Vision: Exhibition and Symposium: National Wool Museum August to October 2017
#Vacant Geelong has secured two Category 2-4 Research Grants, and developed significant community engagement activities, an exhibition in 2016, a major forthcoming exhibition, with forthcoming symposium (September 2017) and catalogue.

2. The Impact of Migration on Architecture and Place
Studies of migration are prevalent in disciplines including geography, politics and cultural studies. My work has identified how architecture mediates the processes of migration. A study of the architecture and urban forms imported or developed through migration and multicultural interaction is critical to understanding new forms of globalisation. This work makes an innovative contribution to the theory of migration and architecture research: i) it established two sites of migration and place - the quintessential city of immigration and the village of emigration ii) it translated the ideas of French theorists Lefebvre and de Certeau, together with postcolonial theory, into a discussion about architecture, migration and culture; and iii) it drew on psychoanalytic theory to develop a framework for the relation between the migrant and the house in the resettlement process. This is significant in the field because it provides insight and understanding through a new perspective of the discipline. It makes a significant contribution to the interdisciplinary discourse on cohesive and sustainable communities. It has established three areas: Migrant houses; Transformation of the Village after Migration; Émigré Architects
Tabula Rasa: Destruction and Invention of the City
Research about the reconstruction of the city after disaster is approached as urban process, morphology, infrastructure or typology. My role is to develop a critical framework that examines the city in relation to collective memory embedded in the fabric. This work makes an innovative contribution to theories of the destroyed city and its reconstruction. The theoretical framework has been applied to cities and reconstruction projects: the CBD of Beirut (field work 1995-1998) after the 17-year war; Yugoslavia and Kosovo; and the reconstruction of Skopje after the 1963 earthquake.
Teaching interests
A core strength and achievement in the last 10 years is the advancement and development of a strong research-teaching nexus, contributing to significant curriculum leadership. I have initiated and developed 2 history/theory units (with 5 major revisions) that have contributed to the critical content and internationalisation of the curriculum. These are research led in content. The research elements in teaching make students think, and disseminate research into the class rooms. These units assist in creating globally informed, confident and articulate students, and raise questions of ethics, environmental awareness, and societal challenges as they relate to the impact of contemporary architectural and urban production.
Informed by the central place of design in architecture courses and in the discipline, my role has been to improve and develop design pedagogy in order to elevate the discussion and application of creativity and innovation in the school. I have initiated and developed 12 design studio programs: in first year to introduce creative thinking; in the middle levels to understand design methods and develop design positions; and to provide opportunity for students to apply their creative practice in competitive environments.
I have initiated 4 research units that establish research pedagogy related to architecture and the allied disciplines, planning, landscape and urban design. With the global change to Master courses, the role of research in the curriculum increased.In recognising the increasing role of research in the discipline, it has also identified that the 21st century student has access to information, but requires skills in evaluating, synthesising and analysing this information, in order to engage and produce knowledge.
Units taught
History and Theory Teaching
TNMP Trans National Mega Projects
This subject examines the theory and practice of accelerated urbanism. Its focus is on the analysis of large urban projects resulting from global networks, emphasising the role of collaboration, cultural exchange and critical theories of globalisation. TNMP sits between the pedagogy of design studio and critical theory seminars. It is an analytical subject that transforms and translates urban theory into analytical methods and techniques in order to develop critical perspectives of current practices.
Contemporary Architecture
The focus of this unit is on architectural and urban projects that were designed in the period between 1968 and the present day. Specific investigations of projects to exemplify the dynamic ways in which architecture participates in the production of the world will be put in the context of a broad range of projects and the larger scale of world history. The significance of western and non-western projects will be examined. An innovative navigation platform of resources (weblinks, audio, interactive map, with initial CD-rom) has made Contemporary Architecture, a vital resource and effective presence on the online education platform.
Research Methodology
The unit gives an overview of research in architecture and contemporary definitions of research. It aims to familiarise students with methods used to define, carry out and document a research programme, with emphasis on architecture research methods.
Design Studio Teaching – Postgraduate (4th and 5th year)
Urban and Housing Typology/International Studio Preston/ Kriva Palanka
This studio explored strategies for housing typology that evolve from local context, but can be implemented on any site. Typologies included Infrastructure-house, Creek-house, Re-use-house, Social-house.
AIA State Student Competition 2008 Social Housing Dandenong. Winner Deakin: Jaka Sedovnik “Dandenong Housing”
Process, Product, By-Product
Studio programme and lectures focus on multi-use development brief for site - housing, work and recreation. It explored the inventiveness of programme to generate design. This studio explored the trajectory of the design process and the ‘thing’ that is produced as a set of decisions to discard or absorb the various processes.
Urbanism [Plan] Architecture. 2007 Preston; 2006 Broadmeadows
This studio developed a program that experimented with the IT era of digital information and research and their impact on design processes. Three platforms for how the urban designer operates were proposed: Off Site, On Site and Intervention. Each explored a focus on how to interact with the site. The development of a plan mediated city as network and its physical scale.

Design Studio Teaching – Undergraduate and selected program description
Architecture 1
Space and Matter
Architecture is a concrete thing made with physical materials and yet it also produces a non-material void or series of voids, and we call this phenomenon – architectural space. Space is the part that is inhabited by people, in which individuals can exist or just be, and in which all the human action and drama take place (no matter how public, private, intimate or secret).
Architecture 2
Materialities And The Technologies Of The Social
Measurement and documentation is used to realise precision and detail in what an environment comprises that is visible and physical.

Socio-Cultural Architecture Research Group
In 2009 SCAR was established as one of three cluster research groups in the School of Architecture and Built Environment. I have lead the direction, co-ordination, and management of the Group. This has included application for funding, management of budgets, Research Fellow, and Data Base. The development and focus of the cultural research platform in the school is an outcome of this work. I mentored and motivated members, and collated individual research expertise.
#VACANTGeelong rethinks, reinterprets and revisions the way we inhabit the city, redefining Geelong as a vibrant 21st century city.
This project develops models of ‘counter-representation’ to address Geelong’s identity - creative mapping of documents, data, practices, histories and movements, including those difficult to map/measure - temporality, atmosphere, trans-cultural mobility. An alternative projection of town identity develops on this platform.
Phase 1 2015: identified and documented Geelong vacant industrial buildings and community cultural memories. Research-Teaching model: Master architecture students investigated ‘vacancy’ in Geelong; representation of ‘vacancy’ at a broad mapping level; and ‘vacancy’ in relation to the Ford Factory complex.
Phase 2 2016: The artist, Alex Hamilton is working with existing architecture – spaces, site and signage – to reimagine the Ford Building.
Phase 3 VicArts 2016 Application: Local artists will collaborate to create interpretations of cultural memory through various art forms (funding application submitted). Project Lead: Lozanovska, Members: a + b Beynon, Fullaondo, Deakin Arts: Cameron Bishop, David Cross; CoGG Kaz Paton, P. Fisher.
Children’s Vision of the City
Lead Lozanovska, team Xu and Ang, in collaboration with Northern Bay College, Geelong. Developing a pedagogical model for children’s engagement with their city through design.
Awards
Deakin Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Student Mobility for the STEM team.
