Dr Ivana Kuzmanovska is interested in the ways that building design and building production can inform one another to achieve more beautiful, more sustainable, and more efficient outcomes. Ivana has spent her career exploring this relationship through architectural research, practice, and teaching.
In 2020, Ivana received the Mollie Holman Medal for her PhD thesis on the importance and value of the ‘D’ (design) in DfMA and how a production-informed design approach might be applied to building design and delivery. Ivana’s most recent research explores data-informed pathways towards more sustainable and efficient built outcomes in the construction industry.
Ivana is experienced in managing interdisciplinary research teams within a university context, and she has an excellent track record of industry collaboration in applied research settings.
Prior to joining Arch_Manu in her current role as Manager, Ivana worked on several Building 4.0 CRC projects as a researcher with the Future Building Initiative at Monash University.
