is an architect, researcher, and curator based in Luxembourg. She works as a postdoctoral research associate at the Master in Architecture Programme, University of Luxembourg, where she also teaches, and during the Fall Semester 2024 as a Guest Lecturer at the Department of Architecture, TU Munich. After obtaining her master’s degrees in architecture and new art media from the University of Novi Sad, in 2020, Marija completed her doctoral studies at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), ETH Zurich. Her doctoral dissertation, titled Real Estate Fiction. Branding Industries and the Construction of Global Urban Imaginaries analysed the role of communication strategists in the design, mediation, and globalisation of the built environment. In 2023, she co-curated Luxembourg Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale with an exhibition that critically unpacked the emerging paradigm of space mining through the perspective of resources. Marija’s work critically examines the production of space in a ‘real-estate-media complex,’ looking into collaborations of property industries and media infrastructures in enabling commodification of land, housing, and resources.
