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

 

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 in the summer of 2024. Together Ford and Parnell established, and serve as Editors of Fulmen Quarterly, an independent journal devoted to the study of ancient architecture, philosophy, the history of warfare, 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, in 2021. His architectural drawings were anthologized in 2019 by the Princeton Architectural Press’s volume Single-Handedly, authored by Nalina Moses, and have been exhibited from Art Omi's Newmark Gallery in New York, to the Amarillo Museum of Art in Texas. In 2024 he was the recipient of a Raphael Award from Traditional Building, for architectural rendering.

 

For a number of years Ford served the archaeological excavation at the Sanctuary of Lykaian Zeus in the central Peloponnesus, 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.
