Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, she holds a Ph.D. in history and theory of architecture from Harvard University, an M.Arch from Rice University, and a B.A. from Bennington College.

Her recent publications include essays for Making Things Public, Handbook of Architectural Theory, Log, Perspecta, Centropa, and Praxis. She curated and designed “Classes, Masses, Crowds” installation for “Making Things Public” at ZKM in 2005, and, with Lee Moreau, “Architects of Our Happiness” at University of Michigan in 2006, and “13:100, New York Architects design for Ordos” for the Architectural League in New York in 2008. She won the ACSA/JAE “Best in Design as Scholarship Article” award in 2012. She is currently working on a book about architects’ legitimating narratives in the postwar Czech architectural discourse, a project on citation, adaptation, and mashup of architectural ideas in contemporary architecture, and a critical assessment of the intersection of late socialism with postmodernism in Eastern European architecture.
