Ana Dana Beroš is an architect whose critical spatial practice encompasses artistic research, documentary filmmaking, curating, publishing, and exhibition design. She is currently based between Zagreb, Graz, and Trieste. As a student, she co-founded ARCHIsquad - Division for Architecture with Conscience in Croatia (2006-2015). Her focus on architectural theory, experimental design, and publishing as spatial practice led to co-founding platforms like Think Space (2010-2015) and Future Architecture (2016-2021). She is currently involved with LINA (2022-2025), curating the DAI-SAI project Sine cūrā: A Future In What We Already Have, which explores the transformation of a modernist Children’s Health Resort into a “place of common healing.”
Her project Intermundia, focusing on trans- and intra-European migration, was a finalist for the Wheelwright Prize (Harvard GSD) and earned a Special Mention at the XIV Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Rem Koolhaas (2014). Through Geotrauma, a pluriannual artistic research project in the Mediterranean and Balkans, she delves into non-representational theories and practices of witnessing, showcasing fragments of a “migratory archive” and “border documentarism” in various exhibitions, publications and documentary forms (with Matija Kralj Štefanić, 2016-2023). Currently, she is a researcher at TU Graz’s IZK Institute for Contemporary Art, contributing to Komuna Maro arts-based research project (2023-2027). She is also one of the architects behind the post-earthquake reconstruction of Sisak’s Striegl House and its (im)permanent museum display in Croatia (2023-2027).
