Background

Gregory Henriquez was born in 1963 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1] He received a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from Carleton University and studied in the History and Theory Master's Program at McGill University, in both programs under Alberto Perez-Gomez.[1] He joined his father's studio after completing his architectural education in 1989, and became its managing partner in 2005.[1]

Among other projects, Henriquez was involved in the redevelopment of the Woodward's Building, which at $475 million, was at the time 2004-2010, one of the biggest single site developments in Vancouver history.[2] He negotiated with the City of Vancouver on behalf of the developer and consulted with community groups to maintain the project's financial feasibility and meet the neighbourhood's social requirements.[3]: 161 

In his books Towards an Ethical Architecture (2006), Body Heat (2010), Citizen City (2016) and Ghetto: Sanctuary for Sale (2021), Henriquez discusses the role of the architect in society, and the place of ethics, activism and social justice within contemporary practice.[4]: 1938 [5]
