Architect, Author and Advocate, Alicia Ponce is the founder and principal of APMonarch. Since 2007, Alicia’s expertise and passion for sustainability have supported many clients in designing radically better projects. Her reputation for resilient and eco-conscious architecture secured APMonarch’s role as the Sustainability Architect and direct protégé to Santiago Calatrava and his firm’s design proposal for the 2019 O’Hare International Airport Global Terminal. The international competition drew 1,200 teams and five were selected for the final presentation.
Alicia has a bigger purpose and her passion for advocating and lifting other Latinas led her to start her own nonprofit Arquitina.org which led her to write her story about her purposeful journey to architecture, entrepreneurship, and connection with nature and help others do the same in Latinas in Architecture Books volumes 1 and 2
