Mária Klaučová

(*1981, Bratislava)

I studied architecture and urbanism at the Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and at the KTH School of architecture in Stockholm (2005-2006).

After graduating in 2007 at the Institute of Urban Design and Planning, I worked as an urbanist on projects of zonal and city scale at studio Aurex (studio for urban design and urban planning).

Since 2011 I have my own practice and work as an architect and urbanist on projects of different scales, from small architecture interventions to urban design studies. In addition, I continue collaborating with atelier Aurex and atelier Compass on urban design projects.

As I am interested in an interdsciplinary view of the city which I perceive as a social phenomenon, I am currently doing a PhD thesis at The Institute for Sociology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. My research is focused on the current changes of the city space and the connection between global processes and the everyday life of the city.
