Event Information

As managing partner of Henriquez Partners Architects, Gregory Henriquez has expanded the role of architect to civic activist, pioneering innovative development solutions that achieve social justice goals while delivering buildings that are socially, culturally, financially and environmentally sustainable. The key to Gregory’s ‘Citizen City’ model has been nurturing cross-sector partnerships among private developers, nonprofits and various levels of government, and harnessing a portion of the wealth created in the real estate development process to achieve socially valuable urban planning priorities such as affordable housing and amenities that foster healthy, vibrant communities.

During his presentation, Gregory will share case studies of several Vancouver building projects, discussing the successes and failures of these cross sector partnerships. It is hoped that the lessons drawn from these projects will aid the creation of more vibrant, just, community-oriented cities. Gregory will also touch on the role of the design community as thought leaders and relationship builders, challenging the architecture community towards greater civic engagement.
