What Is architecture? By definition, architecture is “the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.” However, there is much more that goes into the design process than just drawing a blueprint. With over 85 years of combined experience, our team at Alexander Associate Architects has accomplished both residential and commercial projects. Our team works with you on the budget, zoning codes, and permits, to everything in between. We take pride in making your architectural idea into a reality through great design.
