Aleksandra Raonic

About

Successfully combined Teaching and Practice for over 18 years. Founder and principal architect of an award-winning architectural studio RAUM. Aleksandra has been teaching Architecture in Europe (Belgrade, Serbia and visiting UK, Germany) and in China continuously since 2005. Before NTNU Aleksandra was Associate Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, XJTLU in China, 2014 to 2020, where she was leading Year 3 and held a visiting post at the University of Liverpool, UK.

In parallel to teaching, within my own architectural office RAUM [ www.raum.co.rs ] I have been developing research-oriented design practice. Leading variety of scales architectural projects (from 60sqm up to 60.000sqm) from conception to construction detailing and realization. Realised over 15 architectural projects and 2 urban designs - all of which have gained recognition and were awarded either at the beginning as a winning competition entry, or after being built. All have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. My projects were presented at La Biennale di Venezia 3 times: in 2006, 2012 and 2014. My research is predominantly through design practice. However, my focus has always been on setting up education platforms from which to launch research.

Internationally recognized track record demonstrated through the list of publications, exhibitions and presentations of the substantial number of projects in the field of Architecture and Urban Design, and some in Art as well as through the number of Awards, Honours and Recognitions with over 25 awards granted for Architectural practice and a number of awards for Teaching practice. The most recent awards granted was by an International Jury for the 2000sqm Green Kindergarten in the Stubline village at the 20th Salon of Architecture, 2016, Novi Sad. The same project got awarded at the 2017 S.ARCH International Architecture Award and exhibited at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
