Gordon Gill is a Jamaican born and internationally recognised architect who is one of the world’s foremost exponents of performance-based architecture. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Gordon grew up in the Parish of St. Ann and emigrated to Canada in 1974 where he ultimately achieved his Undergraduate degree before achieving his Masters’ Degrees in Architecture from the University of Texas at Arlington and Harvard University respectfully. His work, which ranges from the world’s largest buildings to sustainable communities, is driven by his philosophy that there is a purposeful relationship between formal design and performance; and that there is a language of performance, which is the basis of his practice: Form Follows Performance.
