“In my work, I look for alternative ways of representation that will feed, rather than interrupt, the thinking process of those I design for. These representations become sources of ideas that help me and my team see and react to more of what is in the available data. “ Nicholas Jacobson is trained as both an architect and a computational designer. He is particularly interested in a technically synthetic and logically rigorous approach to form and fabrication. As a practiced architect and designer, he has designed buildings for the aerospace industry, concert halls, ultra-high-end residential, operating rooms, and structures in extreme environments. He researches and develops novel methods and tools for complex surgeries, leveraging disparate computational methods from numerous fields, including Architecture, Animation, Fashion, Regenerative Medicine, and Structural Engineering. This work focuses on three areas of patient-specific focused development: Diagnostics, Prosthetics, and Implants. His work and research have been published in books, scholarly journals, magazines, and newspapers; these include ACADIA, AD, CAADRIA, Code LA, Huffington Post, Modern Luxury, Nature, New York Times, Popular Science, Sky News, and Vogue and shown work both nationally and internationally. He has lectured at Harvard University, Stanford University, University of North Carolina, and the University of Denver and for companies such as AutoDesk, Zaha Hadid Architects, Medtronic, Edwards Lifesciences, Thornton Tomasetti, Stratasys, and Trimble. He received a Bachelor's in Architecture (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of Wisconsin SARUP and an M.Des (Design Technology) from Harvard GSD and the Harvard Business School.
