Greg Johnson
With a background in architecture and engineering, Greg has integrated the two disciplines throughout his 30-year architectural practice. He was part of early passive solar design and energy conservation initiatives, and recently larger issues of sustainability and high-performance buildings.
Greg maintains an involvement in practice as a partner in the firm Principle Architecture, whose work focuses primarily on institutional projects throughout British Columbia, much of it with School Districts, non-profit organizations, and First Nation communities.
Greg has played a key role in establishing the annual design-build course for students to obtain practical construction experience, and is active in coordinating and promoting the architectural co-op program to place students in work situations.
