Cornelius "Lee" Alig has shaped Indianapolis through various contributions towards its architecture and civic identity. A sixth-generation Indiana native, his work includes downtown revitalization and community projects like tree planting. As co-founder of HDG Architects and Mansur Real Estate Services, he focused on local development, emphasizing design that resonates with its environment. His leadership roles include serving as Vice Chairman of the Regional 2020 Plan and chairing the Governor's Residence Commission, where he prioritized historical preservation and community needs.
"I've always believed that design isn't just about how something looks, it's about how it works in people's lives."
"We wanted to build with a sense of place, something that belonged, not just something that could be dropped anywhere in the Midwest."
"Preservation isn't about freezing time-it's about layering stories."
