Bio

Sam Jacob is the director of Sam Jacob Studio for architecture and design – a collaborative practice that makes buildings, places, strategies and objects.

Recent projects include a new mixed use building in Hoxton, offices for Art Review, the V&A Museum's Cromwell Road entrance, and the Science Museum Group's National Collections Centre. 

Recent exhibition designs include Morris Mania at the William Morris Gallery, The Horror Show at Somerset House, as well as projects for the Design Museum and the London Museum. 

He is Professor and Dean of the Institute of Architecture at the Angewandte, Vienna.

Sam has been described as ‘Spartan’ by Roger Scruton, “More advanced and more frivolous than Hans Hollein” by Hermann Czech, as a ‘pervert and degenerate’ who writes "like Abraham Lincoln" by Robert Venturi and by novelist Nichola Barker as “nothing more (and nothing less) than tenacious embryo pummelling away with his persistent elbows at the enveloping flesh of the womb of meaning"
