Short Description
Igor Pantic is an architectural designer and educator based in London, and the founder of Studio Igor Pantic. He works at the convergence of
computational design, digital fabrication and immersive technologies, exploring the ways in which these disciplines influence how we create
and perceive built and virtual environments. Igor is a Lecturer at The Bartlett School of Architecture UCL in London, where he is teaching at B-Pro
Architectural Design (AD) program, leading the research which focuses on the application of Mixed Reality technologies in architectural design
and fabrication, operating at the overlap between low-cost AR assisted fabrication and automation. He is also a Lecturer at the University of East
London UEL, where he is teaching MArch Unit 6. In addition to this, he has lectured and taught computational design workshops and seminars
internationally, and has previously co-directed the AA Visiting School in Vienna.
Prior to establishing his own design studio, Igor spent 7 years with Zaha Hadid Architects in London, during which he worked on a large number
of high-profile projects across scales. Igor holds a Master degree from the Architectural Association Design Research Lab (AADRL) in London, and
the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Serbia.
