About Hector Abarca-Torres

I am a Licensed Architect in British Columbia (Canada) and Peru currently based in Vancouver. My student and work LatinAmerica, Europe, US & Canada experience have allowed me to accumulate vast international experience that I reflect in my hard and soft skillsI have led buildings of several types, sizes and budgets, in heritage conservation and new work. I am experienced in several building systems (earthen, wood frame, masonry, concrete and steel) and I excel in all the phases of the architectural activity. From the creative discussions at the pre-design stage to the production of contract and tender documentation.Beyond my regular architectural practice, I enjoy academic pursuits collaborating actively with international journals, writing book chapters and presenting academics papers . My research interests extend from heritage management and conservation of vernacular and modern architecture.
