Doug Jackson is an architect whose work examines new conditions of formal, spatial, and experiential agency occasioned by the dynamic spatial realities of contemporary networks and ecologies. He is the editor of SOUPERgreen! Souped-Up Green Architecture, published by Actar in 2017, for which he was also awarded a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, as well as the editor for the Journal of Architectural Education issue on "Environments." Formerly a partner at the award-winning and internationally recognized office of Jones, Partners: Architecture, he is now the principal of the Doug Jackson Design Office and a Professor of Architecture at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA.
In addition to the lecture, his "SOUPERgreen SPREADS" exhibition will be displayed at the Verle Annis Gallery from Aug. 22 through Sept. 7. The exhibit features five architectural propositions that explore how technology can promote a more constructive, meaningful and effective engagement with the environment.
