Filip Galić

  • Ph.D. Student

Department

  • Architecture

Filip Galić studies the evolving relationship between capitalist ideology post empire — as read through transnational circuits of capital, expertise, and architectural production — and the articulations of national consciousness and sovereignty in post-Ottoman Non-Aligned geographies throughout the 20th century, focusing on Yugoslav–MENA relations. Members of his doctoral committee are Esra Akcan, Tracy McNulty, and Raymond Craib.

Prior to doctoral studies at Cornell, Galić received a postgraduate degree with distinction in History and Critical Thinking from the Architectural Association in London, and B.Arch. and M.Arch. from the University of Split, FGAG. He is a licensed architect and has practiced at Alison Brooks Architects, Bjarke Ingels Group, Powerhouse Company, and Joan Alomar Arquitectura.
