Hiro Nishizawa
Founder, Architect, AAA, AIBC, JIA
Background
I’m a professionally registered architect with AAA, AIBC, and JIA (Japanese Institute of Architecture – where my professional career began). I’ve worked in the architectural industry for over 30 years across Asia (Japan), Europe (UK), and Canada, and I bring extensive experience across a wide range of architectural projects.
After combining my cross-cultural work experience and education, I established Formtect Architecture in Calgary, Alberta in 2020, and have since expanded my practice to British Columbia.
Experience
I have experience working on a wide range of complex projects, from early design through to completion. Over the years, I’ve been involved in the development of international airport terminals, healthcare facilities, medical laboratories, hotels, commercial and residential high-rises, educational buildings, mixed-use multi-family residences, and retail developments, including large-scale master planning.
Mission
At Formtect Architecture, we place ethics at the core of everything we do. By prioritizing clear communication, accountability, and trust with our clients and project teams, we create a strong foundation for success.
This focus enables a seamless process and delivers architecture that is intentional, precise, and thoughtfully executed.
