Alex Salazar
Founding Principal
Alex's career-long focus linking architecture to community organizing serves as the foundation of the firm and its guiding ethos. Early in his career, Alex apprenticed with NGOs in India designing culturally appropriate, earthquake safe homes, and he later served on the Board of Directors of multiple housing justice organizations in Oakland, CA and Boston, MA. His decades of experience leading multifamily developments and community-based master plans continues to shape the firm's body of work and our mission-based approach. Today he can be found volunteering on the AIA's Housing and Community Development's Right-to-Housing Working Group, and the AIA's Government Affairs Committee.
