Alan B. Ford (born December 20, 1952) is an American architect and author best known for his work on K-12 sustainable schools.
A regular contributor to architectural journalism, Ford is author of Designing the Sustainable School and a co-author of both A Sense of Entry: Designing the Welcoming School and the most recent publication Creating the Regenerative School. In 2008, Ford was a member of the national American Institute of Architects (AIA) Soloso (now Architect's Knowledge Resource) Editorial Content Review Board and subject matter expert for the website's design content. He has been published in such prominent journals as Architect Colorado[1] and World Architecture News.[2]
Career
Upon receiving his Master of Architecture in 1980, Ford landed a job with W.C. Muchow and Partners Architects in Denver, where he remained for three years. In 1984, Ford moved to New York City where he joined the office of John Burgee Architects and Philip Johnson. He later went on to do work for Alan Lapidus/Michael Graves in 1989, I. M. Pei & Partners in 1990 and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates in 1991. Alan attributes the cultivation of his fervor for architecture – which materialized in the form of architectural journalism – to the inspiration he found in Philip Johnson's passion for the profession.[3]
Alan Ford continues to practice as a licensed Colorado architect and principal of Alan Ford Architects. He authored the book Designing the Sustainable School and co-authored A Sense of Entry: Designing the Welcoming School with former partner Paul Hutton.[4] In addition to his interest in K-12 sustainable school design, Ford has a passion for masonry detailing, which is evidenced by his Park Hill residence and a significant number of past projects.[5]
