Chris Doray was born and raised in Singapore. He completed his graduate studies at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London with Professors Peter Cook, Jeremy Till and Neil Spiller.
Winning competitions for ideas was his greatest passion, even as a student in both London and Germany. Eventually it was a competition where he was short-listed that brought him to the West Coast of Canada. Within five years in Vancouver, his tenacity in his chosen profession landed him the most prestigious project in the City: the Wall Centre.
Subsequently, his career took him on a two-year spell to Seattle where he worked under the mentorship of Peter Pran at NBBJ. Chris returned to Vancouver and took the position as Design Director with Bing Thom for six years. He was responsible for many international and award-winning projects, placing the practice under his design leadership in a new context and garnering international interest.
Chris moved on to be a Principal with Iconstrux, and ventured into the international scene again, accepting commissions in Mexico, Thailand and Dubai. In 2010, he was invited to collaborate with The CPC Group in Shanghai on multiple competitions which brings him back to a familiar region.
Chris Doray Studio was established in 2011 in Vancouver. A new era of national and international collaborative work began, notably in Asia, where there are many of the greatest opportunities for experimental designs which have real development possibilities. During this time, teaching at Emily Carr University of Art + Design has remained a passionately constant endeavour and is a perfect venue for encouraging and nurturing a new generation of architects. He has participated as guest critic in schools, presented at conferences, and sat in jury panels on international competitions. Chris is a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
