ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Juan A. Vivas, and I am dedicated to bridging human needs and nature through innovative design. As the author of Human | Nature Architecture, I explore how integrating natural elements into the built environment enhances well-being, sustainability, and user experience.

With over a decade of experience in Canada and the United States, I have honed my expertise in BIM technology to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and foster collaboration—reducing project timelines by up to 20% while maintaining high design standards.

I collaborate with forward-thinking architectural firms across North America and beyond, shaping efficient, meaningful spaces that reflect my commitment to innovation and community impact.

Let’s connect to explore ideas, collaborations, and opportunities to create architecture that inspires.
