Javier Campos earned his Architecture Degree from the University of British Columbia in 1996 after having completed an undergraduate degree in Architectural History. Previously he founded the Design Collective whose modernist work was published nationally and internationally. During that time, Javier was also a member of Acton Ostry Architects where, as lead designer, his projects were widely published and garnered numerous awards — including Canadian Architect and Lieutenant Governor Medals in Architecture, a Western Living Residential Award, and an Outside the Box Award among others. Along with Institutional and Commercial projects, Javier headed a widely published and multi-award-winning accessible home project that earned accolades not only for the aesthetics but also for its ability to integrate the specific requirements for accessibility. His work adopted a green agenda early and include off-the-grid projects as well as ones that incorporate waste management and indoor environmental quality. Javier became LEED certified in 2004. Alongside his role as Principal Designer at Campos Studio, Javier also participates as a thesis advisor and guest critic at several Canadian Universities. In addition, he is involved in Public Art and has won several competitions with Artist Elspeth Pratt in Vancouver. One notable commission, completed in February 2010 for the Olympics, was entitled Sight Works and was part of the Richmond Olympic Oval Precinct.
