About

Ian Kirs, architect

I am an architect with more than 20 years of professional practice. My work includes residential and public buildings, restoration and cultural heritage, existing buildings, and construction documentation. I now live in Serbia and work on projects in different countries.

I graduated from Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering with a degree in Architecture of Residential and Public Buildings. From 2010 to 2015, I returned to the university as a lecturer, teaching architectural design and related subjects to students from first through sixth year.

I began my professional career at Architectural Studio Eidos, progressing from architectural technician to restoration architect. Since 2012, I have developed my own architectural practice. I have contributed to more than 60 projects, ranging from historic buildings and sacred architecture to private houses, interiors, and complex construction documentation.

Design approach

I am drawn to architecture that begins with a careful understanding of place and purpose. I look for clear solutions that work not only visually, but also in the plan, structure, details, and the real process of construction.

When working with existing and historic buildings, precision and respect for the original architecture are especially important, along with a clear understanding of what should be preserved, restored, or changed.

Architecture & AI

I use AI as an additional working tool for research, exploring options, visual communication, writing, and automating selected processes. Design decisions, project logic, and responsibility for the result remain human.

I also develop web projects and digital tools, and I now take on selected client work in website improvement, enquiry workflows, and business automation. Examples are shown in the Web & AI section.
