ANDREW JACOBS
Andrew Jacobs is a Landscape Designer with SALT DESIGN STUDIO. His design approach has been shaped by his experience overseas working in sustainable agriculture and international development. In practice, Andrew is highly attuned to the cultural impacts of land planning on resource management and on social systems.
Prior work experiences have included training members of a farmers cooperative in agroforestry techniques for the Peace Corps in Togo, West Africa; researching historic agricultural and settlement patterns on Easter Island; and investigating neighborhood identity and its shifting position in Fishtown and West Kensington in Philadelphia. Critical to his design thinking is the link between large-scale systems and localized interventions. As a Philadelphia native Andrew is committed to the responsible growth of our city and improvement of its public spaces. He believes in design as one of the great mediums for preserving and adapting cultural practices inherent in place making and strives to bring responsible design to the next generation of Philadelphia.
