MIKE JACOBS (b. New York City) is a Registered Architect in New York, California and Maine and has been in practice since 2002. In that time he has designed and built numerous award-winning architectural projects, across the United States.

Mike was recognized with the American Institute of Architects NY Lebrun Travel Grant to facilitate his interest in cities and particularly in public space reclamation projects in the U.S. and Europe. His proposals for large-scale waste restructuring in downtown Los Angeles and for the reimagining of New York City’s East River are an evolution of this work.
