Profile
Doug Jackson is an architect whose work focuses on the production and theorization of architecture that employs motion and user-transformation of space in order to make the physical environment more engaging and relevant to contemporary culture. Doug served as a design principal along with Wes Jones in the award-winning and internationally-acclaimed office of Jones, Partners: Architecture (J,P:A), whose innovative work was widely exhibited and was featured in numerous national and international publications, including the monographs Instrumental Form and El Segundo, published by Princeton Architectural Press in 1998 and 2007 respectively.
During his tenure with J,P:A Doug was responsible for both the design and management of a variety of projects, including the Confluence Point Bridges and Ranger Station in San Jose, the Andersen Consulting Corporate Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, the India Basin Technical Center in San Francisco, the Shuffle installation at Sci-Arc in Los Angeles, and the HSI Productions Satellite Office in Culver City. He was also the graphic designer for the firm’s award-winning monograph, Instrumental Form, the graphic director for its follow-up monograph, El Segundo, and the author of the firm’s patent for its Residential Program Deck (PRO/dek) system (US Patent No. 6,526,702 B2).
In addition, Doug has maintained an independent design practice whose work has been featured in numerous publications, and has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
At Cal Poly Doug currently teaches 5th Year Thesis Design Studio. Previously, Doug has taught design studios at both the Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc), and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (as the Hyde Chair of Excellence).
Doug received his BArch from Virginia Tech and his MArch from Princeton University, where he was the recipient of the Butler Traveling Fellowship and the Henry Adams Award.
