Loss in the ASMOSIA family
With deep sorrow we announce the passing of our ASMOSIA family member, Katja Marasović, on the morning of 25 February 2026. Katja was an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy, University of Split, Croatia.
She took the effort and responsibility as Chair of the Organizing Committee for the ASMOSIA XI Conference, held in Split from 18–22 May 2015, an event of which we all retain the fondest memories. Following the conference, she dedicated great effort to the preparation of the Proceedings, overseeing the fundraising, editing, publication, and distribution.
Katja was an active member of the ASMOSIA Executive Committee and an open, warm, and gracious person. Her commitment, generosity, and spirit were a great asset to ASMOSIA. We will remember her fondly and keep her memory alive within our community.
The Executive Committee of ASMOSIA expresses its deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
