Djordje Stojanovic

Djordje Stojanovic is an Associate Professor in Architectural Design at the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, Melbourne School of Design. Born in Belgrade, he obtained his PhD in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University of Belgrade in 2013 and holds a Master's degree from the Architectural Association. As a registered architect in the United Kingdom for 23 years, Stojanovic previously operated an architectural practice in Belgrade, producing projects published internationally on platforms including ArchDaily, Dezeen, and Designboom. Since 2019, he has served as an academic at the University of Melbourne, emphasizing studio-based teaching, research, and coordination of programs such as the Capstone Architecture Design Studio and the Master of Architecture within the Master of Architecture/Master of Urban Planning course.

Stojanovic's research specializations center on architectural design, particularly innovative housing solutions, interdisciplinary studies in housing and professional practice, and the convergence of science, technology, and design to tackle the climate crisis. He led the development of the 'MIST' context-aware outdoor urban cooling system, demonstrated in 2023, and contributed to frameworks for early-stage evaluation of housing retrofits focusing on material circularity, lifecycle emissions, and energy performance. His scholarly output includes the book 'Architecture for Housing: Understanding the value of design through 14 case studies,' featured in ARCH+ 209, and peer-reviewed articles such as 'Context-aware module for evaporative cooling in the outdoor built environment' (2022, International Journal of Architectural Science) and contributions to journals like Buildings and Frontiers in Education. Stojanovic has received funding through grants including the Foundation Tree project (2023-2026). His work advances sustainable design practices, influences architectural education, and promotes resilient urban environments through practical and theoretical contributions.
