research


This project emerged as part of the PhD research, "Encountering heritage coexistence through architectural exhibitions and events," by an architect, curator, and researcher, Milica Božić. REDI has received funding from RMIT University and other 20+ academic and industry partners involved in its implementation. This project is developed under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, and is part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, such as interventions in both temporary exhibitions and permanent pavilions, contributing to evolving heritage narratives.

Centring on the Venice Biennale of Architecture, the Triennale Milano, and the MPavilion, differences in heritage environments in Italy and Australia shape distinct exhibition responses. Heritage concerns within these three sites are explored through exhibitions and pavilions (re)produced in public gardens, revealing how politics, cultures, national identities, public engagement, and more are negotiated on a broader scale.

In the process, Milica brings historical and practice research through a multi-method approach. This is done by tracing the concepts and philosophies of heritage, exhibitions, and pavilions, and the histories of the chosen sites, while also conducting interviews with associated experts. These insights inform a spatial and temporal practice developed throughout the PhD that proposes considering heritage beyond preservation through open-ended, experimental temporary encounters.


The research is supervised by Professor Suzie Attiwill (RMIT University), Professor Annunziata Maria Oteri (Politecnico di Milano) and Professor Mariacristina Giambruno (Politecnico di Milano).
