"Since launching his firm in 1958, Hugh Newell Jacobsen has developed a signature style that reinterprets vernacular building types through a contemporary lens. Simple geometric forms\u2014stripped of ornament and capped, more often than not, with hipped or gabled roofs\u2014are combined into dynamic clusters that manage, poetically, to conjure houses of the past while evoking visions of the future. His Washington, D.C., office (his son, Simon Jacobsen, is also a principal) continues to expand on that tradition with projects both institutional and residential. And the awards\u2014more than 120 to date\u2014just keep on coming. hughjacobsen.com\n\nMeet the other architects and designers on the 2012 AD100 list."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
