Dusan Decermic

Dusan Decermic serves as Senior Lecturer in Professional Practice at the University of Westminster's Department of Architecture since 2008, following a decade of concurrent academic teaching and architectural practice. His career spans prestigious firms including Stanton Williams and Rick Mather Architects, plus his own practice arclab (1999–2009).

Educational background includes:

• Diploma in Architecture, Polytechnic of Central London (now University of Westminster), 1989

His research interrogates Architectural History and Theory through urban design lenses, particularly the conceptual framework of cities. The 2018 edited volume 'The Intrinsic And Extrinsic City' explores how internal and external urban elements interact, establishing his scholarly contribution to theoretical urban studies. This work emphasizes spatial analysis and morphological city structures within architectural discourse.

Recent publications demonstrate specialized focus on urban theory rather than broad output volume, with edited scholarly works serving as primary knowledge contributions. His research trajectory reflects deep engagement with architectural conceptualization over quantitative productivity.

Dr. Decermic maintains extensive teaching experience across UK institutions—leading design studios at Westminster, Brighton, Kingston, and Nottingham Trent universities—with emphasis on bridging professional practice and academic theory. His mentorship approach integrates real-world architectural challenges into pedagogical frameworks.

He directs the Architectural History and Theory research group, fostering investigations into historical urban development and contemporary design philosophy. This lab serves as nexus for critical analysis of built environments through theoretical and practice-based methodologies.
