Synopsis:

Best known for designing a wide variety of commercial spaces for Marc Jacobs, Stephan Jaklitsch seeks to explore the poetry of architecture through the manipulation of space and light to create rigorously detailed spaces that convey a sense of meaning and purpose to their respective contexts. Organized in a rough chronological sequence, the projects in Jaklitsch's Habits, Patterns, Algorithms range in scale from small interior-oriented retail constructions and free-standing residential work, which engages the surrounding landscape, to larger urban transformations both built and speculative. The primary focus is on the process of the design and construction of each work as well as the strict limitations presented by programme, site, code, or client conditions. Each project is presented with detailed drawings, sketches, models, and photographs.

Today, with several hundred completed projects around the world, his firm has received numerous awards, including two Merit Awards from the American Institute of Architects. Stephan Jaklitsch has seen his work exhibited in New York, Chicago, and London and featured in prominent publications throughout the world. Through his work, Jaklitsch seeks to explore the poetry of architecture using the manipulation of space and light to create rigorously detailed spaces that convey a sense of meaning and purpose to their respective contexts.
