About
Ígor Lacroix is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, augmented reality (AR), and sustainable architecture. His work focuses on democratizing advanced construction techniques, particularly through the lens of stereotomic construction—the ancient art of stonecutting—reimagined for the modern era. Lacroix’s major contribution lies in developing accessible methodologies that bypass the need for expensive, heavy digital fabrication machinery. His most cited paper, “Democratizing Stereotomic Construction through AR Technologies” (2022, 4 citations), introduces a reusable mold methodology for producing customized voussoirs using Microsoft HoloLens, enabling mass customization of building components to enhance both aesthetic expression and sustainability. This work directly addresses the global disparity in access to high-tech manufacturing tools. More recently, Lacroix has ventured into quality control for additive manufacturing, co-authoring “Automated defect classification in additive manufacturing LMD-wire using deep learning” (2025, 3 citations), which applies AI to ensure reliability in metal 3D printing. By bridging heritage techniques with cutting-edge AR and machine learning, Lacroix is paving the way for a more inclusive, sustainable, and technologically empowered future in construction.
