Garden History & DesignSara Jacobs
2018 The Douglas Dockery Thomas Fellowship in Garden History and Design
Sara Jacobs is a PhD candidate at the University of Washington. Her dissertation explores the historic relationship between landscape and site to propose a model for how design can engage the social, ecological, and political complexity of cities. Her professional design experience includes working at SCAPE Landscape Architecture, where she helped to lead urban design and waterfront projects; and at OPSYS Landscape, where she used mapping and visual representation as media for revealing environmental, political, and infrastructural intersections. Sara has an MLA from Harvard University and a BA in architecture and conservation resource studies from the University of California, Berkeley. She plans to pursue a career in academia.
