HUGH NEWELL JACOBSEN, FAIA (1929-2021)

Jacobsen was born in Grand Rapids MI and the family moved to Washington DC. After graduating from Wilson HS, Jacobsen graduated from the University of Maryland in Fine Arts in 1951. He married Robin Kearney in 1952. According to the Boston Globe, they bought a taxi in London with 500,000 miles and drove it to Rome and back. He attended the Architectural Association of London, graduating in 1954, and architecture at Yale, studying under Louis Kahn, graduating in 1955. He served in the USAF 1955-1957. Two sons, Simon and John Matthew. Jacobsen worked briefly for Philip Johnson in 1955 and Keyes Lethbridge Condor from 1957 to 1958. After that, he started his own firm. He created the addition under the West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol, restored two Smithsonian museums — the Renwick Gallery and the Arts and Industries Building — and renovated part of the US Embassy complexes in Paris and Moscow. He was known for steep-roofed pavilions, like Monopoly houses and hotels, unfurling like a telescope. Jacobsen won many awards and was a perennial favorite of Architectural Record's Record Houses issue, which since 1956 included him an record 20 times. One of his two sons, Simon, joined him in practice and continues the firm. Bio adapted from Wikipedia and the Washington Post.
