History/BIO
In 2002, Pedro G. Ayala founded PGA Studio, Inc., which is an architecture planning and design build firm now operating in the lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. As President and CEO of PGA Studio, Inc., Pedro initially established PGA Studio in Houston, postgraduate, upon receiving his Master of Architecture from The University of Houston -Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and after planning and implementing projects for award-winning architecture firms such as GENSLER Design Worldwide and 3D International. Pedro received his Bachelor of Environmental Design degree (1994), from Texas A&M University and enhanced his learning in Europe while studying "Place Making"in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy which is formed by the historically significant and architecturally rich landscape cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome.
During his tenure at GENSLER Design Worldwide, 3D International and prior to launching PGA Studio, Inc., high profile projects Pedro worked upon which are comprised in his curriculum vitae, include: Master planning the Utah State Capitol Historic Preservation and Seismic Upgrade project with 3DI -Salt Lake City, Utah; Goldman & Sachs Office Expansion -Memphis, Tennessee; Gurnee Mills Concept Shopping Competition -Chicago, Illinois; 1000 Main Mid-rise Mixed Use Downtown Office Tower -Houston, TX; and Belmont Assisted Living -Nashville, Tennessee. Pedro's design experience can be categorized as progressive, innovative and precise, encompassing a well-rounded range which varies from premium-grade millwork detailing at JOHNS & HAUSMANN Design Company for University libraries, corporate offices, and museums, to designing schools, automotive dealerships and sanctuaries for Kenneth M. Graves, AIA, Architect.
In all aspects, Pedro combines his professional practice with personal and professional community involvement as both are an integral part of the core values of PGA Studio. Pedro has contributed to and invested in promoting the McAllen's Heart of the City Improvement Corporation, served on committees of the American Institute of Architects as well as served as a board member for local nonprofits such as National Hispanic Entrepreneurs for Leadership in Politics. He has been a consultant and Board member of Hunt Valley's Architectural Review Committee for Sharyland Plantation's 6,000 acre Master Planned Community since March of 2007.
