[Design & Computation Arts Speaker Series] Sustainable Design: Collaborative Practices of Heat, Energy and Environment-Making
April 15 | 14:45 - 16:15
Clusters: Milieux
Join us for the second presentation of the Design & Computation Arts Speaker Series featuring Dr. Iva Rešetar.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Iva Rešetar is an architect and interdisciplinary researcher at the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She studied architecture at the University of Belgrade and the Städelschule in Frankfurt and received her doctorate from the Berlin University of the Arts’ Department of Digital and Experimental Design. Her dissertation critically examines the relationship between architecture and environmental technologies, searching out historical and experimental knowledge of thermodynamic processes of phase change in architecture – how they are sensed, mediated and acted upon in context of the current climate crisis. Her interests lie in fluid materialities, methods and practices of energy and heat, and their implications for environmental regeneration and repair of the built environment.
Iva has practiced as an architect, and has taught and carried out research among others at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Weissensee School of Art and Design Berlin, Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, and CCA in Montreal. Her recent publications include Breath: Morphological, Ecological and Social Dimensions (De Gruyter, 2022), and Thermodynamic Structures: Modulating Heat with Phase Change Materials in Architecture (Berlin University of the Arts, 2025).
