We broadcast a recording of the interview with Dr Tijana Prodanović. The conversation took place in the frame of the course Emerging Fields in Architecture, TU Vienna (WS 2024/25). Students were investigating current and future challenges in planning and building within a broader social, ecological and technological context. For this series, they asked researchers, creative people and experts from different disciplines and research fields about the following questions: What kind of future do we want to create? What role(s) does architecture play in this? What tools and technologies are available to us? What visions exist, and where are they leading us? What can we learn from other disciplines for a sustainable architecture? What lessons can be drawn from the past for future projects?
The conversation is designed to approach the concept of space from different perspectives. The dialogue is led by an architect engineer and future urban planner on one side, and a doctor of astrophysics and science communicator on the other. Since Tijana is an expert on the universe, we will dive into the world of planets and constellations, trying to maintain connections with the real, architectural space. Next, we will address the real, three-dimensional space, focusing on its physical characteristics and the laws that govern it. We will then attempt to go beyond the physical boundaries, into the metaphysical domain, and analyze the virtual, digital space in which various actions of modern humans take place. Additionally, we will touch upon the parallels between analog and digital space. In the digital space, specifically, we will focus on the area of education, or the „virtual classroom“ in which Tijana shares her knowledge with followers on online platforms. We will try to create a conceptual arc through different forms of space, attempting to decipher whether space is a real entity or simply the framework in which everything occurs.
Milica Ugrinov conducted the interview and produced this broadcast as part of the course Emerging Fields in Architecture at the Vienna University of Technology.

Architects play a crucial role in shaping our future. Through their concepts and designs, they initiate spatial, social, and technological innovations that can have far-reaching impacts on our coexistence. How we will live in the future is a complex question that engages researchers, creatives, and experts from various disciplines. As part of the „Emerging Fields in Architecture“ module at TU Wien, Hochbau 2, numerous experts were interviewed on this topic during the winter semester of 2023/2024. Concrete as well as far-reaching proposals were discussed, and multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary strategies were developed to address current and future design challenges in the context of social change. Architecture has a crucial role to play in addressing global challenges such as climate change and demographic change. Therefore, it is essential that architects have a broad understanding of sustainability, technology, and social issues and incorporate them into their designs. By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, architects can contribute to shaping a sustainable and future-proof world in which we can all live.
