Reza Nik is the founding director of SHEEEP - a licensed architect, artist and educator based in Toronto, Canada.  Reza has a background in Art History and he is currently an Assistant Professor in the Teaching Stream at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design where he has been teaching since 2017. Disrupting the traditional architectural processes and institutions is at the forefront of his pedagogy and practice. 

Prior to founding SHEEEP, Reza worked with experimental practices like Coop Himmelb(l)au in Vienna & the Living Architecture Systems Group in Toronto. He has also worked with various more traditional architectural studios in Barcelona, Buenos Aires & Toronto along with design-build projects in India and Argentina. The social impact of Architecture is something he has been investigating for over a decade.

Reza is also one of the founding members of the Toronto chapter of the Architecture Lobby, an organization advocating for labor rights for architectural workers and encouraging more critical discourse within the profession.
