Ed Jakmauh (1942 - ) is an American architect. He has planned, programmed, and designed adaptive reuse projects, a Federal Courthouse, and academic medical centers in urban settings. He grew up in the Dorchester section of Boston, attended Boston Public Latin School, and earned degrees in Building Science and Architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design (MAUD) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). While there he did projects under the direction of Fumihiko Maki, Jerzy Soltan, Jose Lluis Sert, Willo von Moltle and Edouard Sekler. After the GSD, he won a Fulbright Fellowship to study Regional Planning at University College London, where his adviser was Peter Cowan. He joined the Regional Studies Association at the London School of Economics (LSE) and had the opportunity to audit courses with Carl Popper and Ralph Miliband.
In 2005, Jakmauh was elevated to Fellow in the American Institute of Architects (FAIA). In elevating Mr. Jakmauh to Fellow, the AIA noted that he had implemented a number of "firsts" for health facilities. These included: 1) The paperless record in an Emergency Department (UPHS, Philadelphia) 2) The "single-handed" patient room (St. Elizabeth Hospital, Covington, KY) 3) The logistics center in the core of the patient care unit (Geisinger Wyoming Vallet Medical Center) 4) The free standing service column in a Critical Care Room (Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center). "He has been a relentless champion of bringing more daylight to the interiors of U.S. Hospitals in alignment with more stringent European standards." He is a board certified health facilities architect, and founding member of the American College of Health Care Architects (ACHA). He is a certified LEED AP (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) architect.
He is married to the educator, Joan Countryman.
