Paolo Flores is an architect and educator immigrated to Canada to fight at the frontlines of the global climate crisis.
Trained in Sustainable Architecture at the UK's Architectural Association and raised in Manila, the world's densest metropolitan area. Informed by this duality, his approach to architecture is tech-agnostic design derived from high-tech methodologies.
