Architecture today involves far more than creating attractive spaces. For developers, organizations, and property owners, a successful project also has to respond to energy performance, building durability, environmental considerations, code requirements, and the practical realities of construction. But for Carlos Gamez, the broader question is also about how people perform, interact with their surroundings, and find ways to improve.

That wider perspective is reflected in both his architectural career and his nonfiction writing. As a Registered Architect and Associate Partner at Berry Architecture + Associates, Carlos works from the firm's Kelowna office and delivers Building Envelope and Passive House services to clients in Alberta and British Columbia. Alongside that professional work, he has published nonfiction books online and is developing additional books focused largely on human performance and ways people can enhance it.
