Razvan Ghilic-Micu

With two decades of experience across North America and the Asia Pacific, Razvan Ghilic-Micu brings a global perspective grounded in regional insight, championing regenerative design and radical redevelopment. His award-winning portfolio spans commercial mixed-use projects, high-rise towers, innovation campuses, educational institutions from primary through to university and sectors including arts & culture and hospitality. His works have been recognised with Canada’s Governor General’s Medal, the American Architecture Award, multiple SIA Architectural Design Awards and a place on URA’s 20 Under 45 (4^th Edition, 2025), which recognises Singapore architects who exemplify excellence in contemporary architectural practice. Razvan’s approach explores how regenerative thinking can guide architecture, reframing, renewing and adapting what already exists. To him, architecture is ultimately a cultural act, the creation of places that are culturally resonant, elegantly simple and enduringly meaningful for people and planet.

Beyond practice, Razvan has contributed to the Singapore Institute of Architects as Chief Editor of The Singapore Architect and Festival Director of Archifest 2021. Committed to architectural education, he has led design units and served on Master’s Architecture thesis juries at NUS, SUTD and Princeton University. He holds a teaching certificate from Princeton McGraw Center and received the Henry Adams Award for Excellence in Architecture during his Master’s studies at Princeton under the mentorship of Liz Diller and Stan Allen.

His civic and cultural presence extends to editorial, curatorial and public discourse, spanning design futures, artificial intelligence and urban renewal. He has curated exhibitions at URA and Venice Architecture Biennale and served as curator and editor for Archifest’s 20^th Anniversary Exhibition and Publication in 2026. Through these platforms, he actively advances conversations on the future of architecture and cities. Razvan sees the architect’s role as that of a great listener and intelligent aggregator, crafting outcomes that achieve more with less while creating lasting value for society.
