Alan Jones (architect)
Alan Montgomery Jones (born September 1964) is a chartered architect and academic based in Northern Ireland, UK. He studied architecture at Queen's University Belfast, and after working in London, returned to Northern Ireland in 1998 to practise, and to teach at Queen's University Belfast. He jointly led architecture at Queen's for several years, and is currently professor of architecture in its School of Natural and Built Environment.
Jones served as president of the Royal Society of Ulster Architects from May 2012 to 2014. He was elected as president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) for two years from 1 September 2019, the first person from Northern Ireland to hold that office. He stepped aside for a couple of months in 2020 over a personal matter, and in July 2021 stepped down as a RIBA trustee, but remained as RIBA President, feeling unable to support a proposal to convert the contract of the RIBA chief executive.
