Montréal, Quebec

Alberto Pérez-Gómez is an architectural historian globally renowned for his phenomenological discourse. For more than 40 years, he has bolstered his reputation as a leading expert through paradigm-shifting analyses that highlight the rising influence of technocracy, governance and legislation on contemporary building design. Professor emeritus of architecture at McGill University, he is also the founding director of the school’s History and Theory postgraduate program. His practical design and interdisciplinary theory have served as a model for architectural education programs across the country and around the world.
