Biography

Goran Ivo Marinovic is a lecturer at Wenzhou-Kean University, in the School of Public Architecture at Michael Graves College. His practice-based research focuses on architectural strategies relevant to the construction of everyday life and how design can contribute to participative practices as the social inclusion of citizens. He had teaching experience before joining Wenzhou-Kean University, as he taught at the American University of the Middle East (Kuwait), Universidad de Las Américas Puebla (Mexico), and Keimyung University (South Korea). He has been a researcher at the Technical University Munich (Germany), the University of Chile (Chile), and other European institutes. His theoretical and practical research activities include the policies and theory of incremental housing, future studies of informal settlements, the critical phenomenology of inhabitation, and movement studies. He has also achieved urban design proposals by managing “Foundation Budva,” a not-for-profit organisation he founded in 2016. The overall goal of this NGO is to encourage citizens’ participation in improving the quality of life in Montenegro through smart, inclusive and sustainable growth of urban places.
