Principal, Fender Katsalidis
Alex is a Principal at FK, bringing a globally informed perspective shaped by a career across Australia, London and New York. He has led multidisciplinary teams on complex, large‑scale projects spanning the cultural, education, commercial, infrastructure and hospitality sectors, with a consistent focus on sustainable, performance‑driven design outcomes.
Alex’s practice is driven by the belief that architecture should meaningfully respond to context and enhance the experience of place. His work strengthens spatial connections, integrates advanced technologies and balances innovation with carefully considered material choices that respect local identity and environment.
Deeply interested in the relationship between architecture and cultural identity, Alex sees design as a catalyst for shaping experience and contributing positively to urban and natural settings. Aligned with the forum’s ambition, his approach challenges conventional solutions and pushes creative boundaries through collaborative, rigorous and forward‑looking design.
