------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Babic's scholarship explores the intersection of architecture and ideology during the state-socialist and post-socialist periods in East-Central and Southeastern Europe, with a particular focus on former Yugoslavia. She examines the intertwined nature of architectural production, urban planning, and socio-political events in the state-socialist countries of the twentieth century and the socio-political and architectural developments in contemporary post-communist Europe. Her current work investigates the production and negotiations of urban identities in post-socialist spaces, particularly focusing on state socialist housing estates and urban monuments.

My research expertise and interests include: the history and theory of architectural heritage preservation; construction history; nature-culture interlinkages and the relationship between architectural and landscape heritage in the historical evolution of national and international protection frameworks, as well as in contemporary preservation practices, with a focus on Italian and Dutch historic military systems (19th-20th century), vernacular architecture and water-related built heritage. My future scholarship aims at exploring the topic of ‘eco-cultural identities: heritage values and non-human life in built heritage preservation’.
