Gregory Henriquez RCA (born 1963) is a Canadian architect who has designed community-based mixed-use projects in Vancouver, Toronto and Seattle. He is the managing principal of Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects, founded in 1969 by his father, Richard Henriquez.

Background

Henriquez was born in 1963, in

Alberto Perez-Gomez. 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]

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]
