Gregory Henriquez is a Canadian architect, who has designed community-based mixed-use projects in Vancouver, Toronto, and Seattle. He is the managing partner of Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects, founded in 1969 by his father Richard Henriquez.

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 under Alberto Perez-Gomez.[1] He joined his father's firm after completing his architectural education in 1989, and eventually 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, one of the biggest 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]
