Alexander J. Ford is an American author, and illustrator. 

​

His first full length written work—which concerns language, metaphysics, and the end of modern materialism—was coauthored with Jack R. Parnell and published by PRAV Publishing.

 

Together Ford and Parnell established, and serve as Editors of Fulmen Quarterly, an independent journal devoted to the study of ancient architecture and Western esotericism. Scholarly work by Ford has appeared published in numerous venues both architectural, and otherwise—including an introductory polemic for the monograph Verum Fictum.

​

His drawings were anthologized by the Princeton Architectural Press’s volume Single-Handedly, and have been exhibited internationally from Art Omi's Newmark Gallery in New York, to the Amarillo Museum of Art in Texas, and by INTBau in Belgium. To date, he has received three Raphael Awards for architectural rendering.

​​

For a number of years Ford served the archaeological excavation at the Sanctuary of Lykaian Zeus, as the Assistant Field Director for Architecture. He has lectured at the University of London’s Birkbeck College, and taught a design studio at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture—instructing students in the fundamentals of measured drawing.

​

Ford studied architectural history at Columbia University in New York City, graduating with a Master's in Historic Preservation in 2016. He earned his B.Arch from the University of Arizona, in 2014, and attended Cornell University's Introduction to Architecture program in 2008. In his career, Ford has worked for Studio Daniel Libeskind in New York, Studio Pela in Arizona, and Michael G. Imber Architects in Texas.

​

He currently lives in south Texas with his wife Samantha, and teaches drawing at the University of Texas San Antonio's School of Architecture.
