Jacob Davis, AIA, LEED AP is a Senior Associate at the firm bringing a thoughtful design process that seeks to demonstrate an authentic response to program and context. His efforts have pushed projects to challenge convention standards and consider new design potentials. Within each project, he has a passion for translating conceptual ideas into built detail, and integrating design and sustainability as means to provide a healthier and more resilient future.
Jacob has influenced archimania’s design process through analyses of building performance data. Since 2015, he has led the firm’s participation in the AIA 2030 Commitment - a framework to help firms evaluate the impact of project design on energy efficiency. He continues to push archimania’s use of building performance modeling on the front end of design, with life cycle assessment through the design development, and post-occupancy energy monitoring leading to the firm’s realization of two dual Zero Energy and Zero Carbon certified projects by ILFI - the first two in the world to achieve dual certification.
Jacob also serves as an adjunct professor and graduate thesis committee advisor at the University of Memphis, Department of Architecture and served on academic juries at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, and the University of Memphis. He is a speaker and design awards juror who finds inspiration in the stories and ideas embedded within architecture, including his talk at TEDxMemphis 2021.
In his free time, he enjoys a beautiful day outdoors, traveling somewhere new, and spending time with his family and dog, Penny.
