Vladimir Kulić joined the College of Design, Iowa State University, in January 2019. He is an architectural historian, curator, and critic with interests in the architectural history of socialism, post-World War II modernism and postmodernism, the Second World, Eastern Europe, and Yugoslavia.
In collaboration with Martino Stierli, Vladimir curated the widely acclaimed exhibition Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948-1980 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (July 2018-January 2019). His books include Modernism In-Between: The Mediatory Architectures of Socialist Yugoslavia (with Maroje Mrduljaš and Wolfgang Thaler, 2012), Sanctioning Modernism: Architecture and the Making of Postwar Identities (edited with Monica Penick and Timothy Parker, 2014), Bogdanović by Bogdanović: Yugoslav Memorials through the Eyes of Their Architect (2018), and the edited volume Second World Postmodernisms: Architecture and Society Under Late Socialism (2019).
