Associate Principal, hcma
Alexandra (Ali) Kenyon is an architect, urbanist, and mother living on the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh). With Dutch and Italian ancestry, and raised in the Treaty Four lands of Regina, Ali is interested in the relationship between cities, buildings, landscapes, their cultural context, and the systems connecting them. She is committed to providing design solutions that catalyze community change, now and in the future.
As Associate Principal at hcma, Ali leads teams to maximize positive impact on Canadian communities through designing public spaces, aquatic and recreation centres, libraries, outdoor pools, and development master plans. Her interdisciplinary background, first in industrial design then architecture, influences her success across project scales – Alley Oop and Ackery’s Alley are two non-traditional projects that reshape the urban landscape, while the newly opened təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre brings a top-of-class civic amenity to a challenging site.
