Hello! Welcome to my online school portfolio.
A little about me: My name's Jonathan. I'm an architectural designer at BOKA Powell in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a B.Arch. in 2016. Before that, I earned a B.A. Philosophy from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. Architecture is more than a career; it's a lifestyle - and, quite frankly, I'm a little obsessed.
Blog: I write a blog centered around architecture that you can access here: Obsessed Architect Blog
If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you.
This quote by Charles Bukowski sums up everything that I feel about architecture:
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
