Maya Petrevska is a master of architecture, independent researcher, writer and visual designer based in Skopje, North Macedonia, working at the intersection of architectural theory, cultural criticism and different visual practices such as digital collage, narrative maps and poem-drawings--investigating the specific spatial atmosphere and experience of a place. Her work investigates the City as a narrative laboratory--a site of ordinary archaeologies, micro-rituals, as well as performative and social practices carried through space and time.
Growing up within a post-socialist spatial imagination in a City that might as well be treated as a brutalist playground, she developed a specific sensibility through which she experiences it. Her research emerges from Skopje--the City that's a Character in and of itself--acting simultaneously as a mnemonic device that preserves some hidden, archetypal fragments of her identity as well as a starting point of her fascinations.
She loves borrowing concepts from different fields and is definitely more interested in the interdisciplinary approach both in the field of architecture and in the uncovering of the multiplicity of meanings that the City has to offer.
