Vedran is a European and Canadian architect, educator and public speaker; known for his leadership, team support, innovation, and execution of projects with local and global impact. Working at the intersection of practice and academia, Vedran brings people together to turn challenges into clear, meaningful architectural strategies that strengthen mental health, well-being, and a stronger sense of community.

With more than 30 years of experience across multiple continents, Vedran’s work focuses on questioning assumptions and developing design solutions that respond to the social, cultural, and historical fabric of each place. He sees architecture as a catalyst for human connection; a way to cultivate the irruption of events, spontaneous encounters, and opportunities for action that bring the built environment to life.

Some of Vedran’s more recognisable designs with Reimagine Architects include Eastgate Offices for Environment Canada, priMED Mosaic Centre, Red Deer Polytechnic Student Residence, Northern Lakes College Trades Training Centre, Concordia University of Edmonton Braaksma Hall, and the initiative to save the old Royal Alberta Museum in Glenora, Edmonton from demolition – each reflecting a commitment to thoughtful design, environmental responsibility, and the collaborative process that turns shared ideas into lasting impact.

Vedran earned his Master of Architecture degree from the University of Zagreb, where he was trained in architecture, urban design, interiors, and building science. After practicing in Croatia, he relocated to Canada in late -2009, and soon after, joined Reimagine Architects in concert with teaching architecture at the University of Calgary and continuing collaboration with architectural practice in Zagreb – MORE arhitekture – which he co-founded in 2008.
