letter of intent

Dear Hiring Manager, My name is Jonathan Bernard and I would like to express my interest in a junior designer position if ever one becomes available. I am currently employed as a junior designer at jones | haydu, a young and thoughtful architecture firm in Potrero Hill. My architectural responsibilities range from pre-design research to construction administration while also involved in marketing, furniture and landscape design. I am a dynamic employee with a keen ability to acquire new skills, and I thrive in a fast-paced learning environment, whether I am working independently or collaboratively. I strongly believe that my range of skills in architecture + design would make me a valuable addition to continue and enrich the collective work being done at the firm. My work samples will successfully demonstrate the breadth of knowledge that I have to excel and grow with the practice. My background in architecture + design has shape the way in which I interact with the environment. My eye is always wandering from one detail to the next, analyzing the layers and relationships that make up our built environment. I have a remarkable variety of skills ranging from numerous design softwares, to drawing and sketching to modeling and prototyping. I love my craft and I am always looking for more ways to improve and become better rounded. My experience at jones | haydu, where I’ve been since September 2012, is one that has helped me bridge the gap between theory and practice. I’ve learned that architecture + design is not just the big pretty picture but also budget, time, codes and regulations, clients’ expectations and many other factors. Factors that when coordinated well and thoughtfully, can lead to a great space or product. Factors that cross disciplinary lines to engage clients and consumers alike to create a meaningful experience. I’m excited to be at this stage of my career development while also hungry to learn more. I thank you very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, Jonathan. cage edit_CCA 100 prototypes_Rhino+Grasshopper_August 2014

“unify the weird stuff” (jogging walls, steel structure, brick, openings)

This project is located in the Stern building at Levi’s plaza. It is a remodel of the existing lobby to create a greeting atmosphere amongst tenants and visitors alike. The existing lobby was small, dark, and damp; conditions that were not indicative of a welcoming space. The challenge was to create an experience as harmonious as the existing plaza where different materials come together through the sequence of spaces. The cladding at the existing steel structure was removed to make the space feel lighter. The brick wall between the existing lobby and vestibule was demolished to facilitate a continuous circulation while also providing the sitting area with purpose and excitement that were previously lacking. The desk is the anchor point that blurs the line between interior and exterior. Proposed entry from plaza

Revitalizing a stretch of sidewalk in the Financial District that has been fallow for over 20 years, Coffee Bar Kearny serves as a workshop to explore, experiment, and embrace the trends of the coffee industry. The tiny cafe engages pedestrians through the exterior of scorched wood that then wraps into the space and creates a frame for the artistry of the baristas.

Located in a vacant space next to St. Mary’s Square Garage, the existing conditions of the space provided a fairly simple but rich canvas of materials from which to start. The space is composed of concrete floor, walls and waffle ceiling with a sheetrock wall and a brick partition wall that was sandblasted to return the original color. Having served as a jewelry store prior, the existing wall fronting Kearny St had three displayed windows which were demolished to create a large opening that the public could engage with.

Shifting Volumes

PROJECT SITE

From competition website Baker O’donoghue: Cabin Fever is a design competition born out of our passion for architectural design, interpretation, and the art of fabrication, and the idea of connecting with colleagues around these topics outside the work-a-day world. COMPETITION AREAS DNA Cabin – Design of a site specific, off-the-grid cabin for sport, for the love of a challenge-a building idea in miniature. We encourage novelty, audaciousness, genius, madness and, of course, cost-effective use of resources. Transitional Housing Module – Design of a universally adaptable emergency housing system for transitional living that speaks to the need for rapid deployment, simplicity of construction, economy, and intelligent design. NorthWest corner

Siting

a feeling of seclusion a chance to re-connect with one’s self pondering life’s deepest meanings… not really questioning without wanting to know the answers.

Form

Just one’s senses, knowingly reacting to the unknown subconsciously linking one to a greater sense of being existence or lack of trying to understand what’s presented oscillates between man and nature, inside and outside, architecture and phenomenology how do we separate the two? are they ever one?

PROJECT SITE

specific project roles_project designer daily management from DD to CD 3D modeling landscape design Located in Palo Alto, this remodel contemporizes the eichler residence to meet the needs of a growing family. The existing conditions of this mid-century icon proved to be inadequate in various areas. The living spaces were cluttered, lacked natural light and proved difficult to circulate. The main focus of this remodel was the living area anchored by the kitchen. The family wanted to open up the floor plan as much as possible while still creating privacy around the sleeping areas. The living, kitchen, dining and family rooms flow seamlessly as one room defined by functions and activities rather than walls. This one room separates the master suite from the children rooms while also acting as an extension of the backyard by introducing a glass sliding wall to the west. An addition to the bonus room enlarges the area to become the master suite. View from family room

As a participant of the 2014 TED Talk conference, Adobe wanted to create a social space to introduce Mighty + Napoleon, a stylus and digital ruler used for drawing on tablets. With the theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drawing as literacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this space became a background for interaction to take place. The social space invites people of all skill level to just pick up the tools and start drawing. Individual tables are equipped with Mighty + Napoleon where people can take their time to create and then share by swiping to the big screens. This was a very interactive process at every level of drawing and technology. We also wanted to engage people with the social space itself so we chose white board material to cover surfaces of the space for people to draw. The concept was to create an experience that is organic in the way that people work, communicate and interact. Render

I was invited to participate and my entry “theatrical greens” seeks to create a blanket as that dimension. Hanging from a beam and two columns, it separates the gallery in half while barely visible in the space. Its effects are mainly felt by the friction created through walking from one side to the next where you come close to the piece and the suggested weight above. The blanket is made through a network of tubes (paper plotter rolls) cut in various lengths to act as planters. The planters were painted white so that they would disappear in the space thus allowing one to focus on the flowers through color and texture. The piece offers a play between various elements culminating in an experience unique to how it is viewed. View looking up

PROJECT SITE

We live. We breathe. What does it all mean? Is it necessary to question? The what…how… why…when…who…where? In no particular order, they each influence, complement and even contradict each other. We do the same as we live every day. What’s the role of architecture within this matrix? How do you take the mundane and make it exciting? This project wasn’t about creating an entirely new program because architecture can always be interesting beyond any function.

The Roots of Music_New Orleans, LA University of Virginia_Fall 2010 critics_Maurice Cox + Elizabeth Roetger

New Orleans mapping studies- The Roots students routes imposed on key nodes of entering and leaving the city post-hurricane katrina.

Soul is Waterproof “The Big Easy”, “Hollywood of The South”, “America’s Most unique City”, are all just some of the nicknames that begin to describe the birthplace of Jazz... my city, New orleans. I remember waking up to the sweet sound of trumpets glaring through the quiet atmosphere as the sun also glare through the clouds with the fall of dawn. My house in the Lower Ninth Ward always invited me to sit on its porch and realize its richness. Its been there since...forever. My mother always told me stories of her childhood days in this house with her parents. It’s a part of my mother, it’s a part of who I am, and who I am to become. Streetcars were my toy trains, Jazz was my iPod, culture was my neighbor, Mardi Gras was my television, and red beans and rice and Jambalaya were, well... my life.

Memory drawing- spatial sequence

The plane landed and as we drove to the Lower Ninth Ward, I saw the Superdome, we passed near the French Quarter, and went through Saint Claude Ave because the Clairborne Bridge was still close. But, the Trees! where are they? well, there aren’t any. Traffic? Not here because most of the cars are either flipped upside down, on their side, while some were washed a block away. But wait, My house? My mother’s house? My grandmother’s house? Just like that day with the sun glaring through the clouds, today is the same except my porch is not so inviting because...I can’t find it. I can’t find my house. Where I’m standing has to be it. Three blocks North of Clairborne Ave, and N Roman St. But this can’t be it. My mother came over, hugged me, and touched my chest as she whispered to me, “it’s in here, all those years, all those memories...the soul is waterproof”.

From The Roots: “The Roots of Music fills a void in music education programs in New Orleans schools. Marching bands were once an integral part of New Orleans middle schools, but many schools discontinued their music programs for this age group after Katrina. Today, The Roots of Music serves over 100 students, making up a full marching band that has successfully paraded the city since Mardi Gras 2009. Our program provides music history and theory as well as instrumental instruction and ensemble performance preparation. We also provide academic tutoring, mentoring and homework assistance. We serve kids ages 9-14 from low-income households — and to reduce common barriers to participation for this population, we also provide our students with round-trip transportation and a hot meal 5 days a week, 12 months a year.” Within the four sites that were proposed, this studio project focused on an area of Treme where the design of a new music center could act as a strong catalyst to help revitalize the already iconic but decaying neighborhood. On the site stood the modern and distinct Phyllis Wheatley Elementary School that was due for demolition but was taken into consideration & repurposed. The new addition would create a strong sense of enclosure for the kids safety while the actual program spaces break down the entire complex to create a space that can be experienced visually and auditory.

TITLE

It is 5 years after the hurricane so I am now 14 years old. It’s hard to believe the journey that I’ve been on even though each step resides firmly behind me. People are forever intrigued by my story and like to ask questions. They like to read me. They like to photograph me. They even like to think that they understand me and all awhile, I comply. I answer every question and smile for every photo and it’s absolutely genuine. It’s not that I want to be mysterious as i live vicariously through my past like the shadow that’s cast behind me in a predetermined mold shaped by what most people call society. They also say that I am too young to understand so I’ll call it culture. Because that’s all I know. That’s all I am. That’s all I think about as I’m told to, “sing in your heard first” and “see the colors in your mind” as this culture is now manifested by the two sticks in my hand Lord I ask you to forgive me. Forgive me for creating a sound that resonates way beyond me as I snare on this drum connecting with my history I can almost swear that I see my mother sixth-sensely in front of me dancing crying tears of joy while whispering to me “the soul is waterproof” words that I’ll never forget as I remember that day when her hands slipped away from mine carried away by a pain never felt before and never wished back until I snare on this drum connecting to my waist and strapped to my shoulder as I remember being drawn up by blades in the sky drowning my mother’s voice “the soul is waterproof” [bursting bubbles in the water] “the soul is waterp…” [gasping for air] “the soul is …” [waving goodbye] “th…” so mother this one is for you. keep dancing. keep crying tears of joy.

PROJECT SITE

This project focused on the socioeconomic issues of the city that were very much present but were not challenged by the architecture. This project proposed this renewal architecturally and pragmatically by allowing the site to come to life through the transitory movement of its spaces by means of creating an unbalanced tension that not only reveals the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layers but isolate the person through time.

The architecture references some characteristics of the human condition through the elements of forms, surfaces, and materials. It becomes an intertwinning event that allows the person experiencing the space to create their own meaning. And in the sense of this project, that vision brings to mind a phenomenological thinking that introduces new possibilities.

PROJECT SITE

3C-AC_Charleston, SC University of Florida_Spring 2009 critic_Levent Kara Based in Charleston, South Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a city of many layers from years of occupation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this project goes beyond a scheme that deals with the human conditions. It introduces ideas of how to build and dwell in the city. The city of Charleston is rich and diverse in scale and texture which enables the street fronts to have a character of their own. So the aim became the revealing of the city from the masking once certain layers are peeled off. The street corners become alive while the layers of the city are revealed with each intertwining act of human activity. The concept for the Charleston Community Center for the Arts and Culture (3C- AC) was originated from the idea of performance in the city in its purest terms where every aspect of the art form is revealed to the audience. The programs co-exist in a way that different paths are meant to cross each other on either level of the spaces or walks of life. View looking Southwest on corner of Church + Cumberland St.

The first half of this semester was based on the explorations of the detail as a joint. The idea that details can be autonomous or expressive, decorative or functional, became the starting point. Beyond the theoretical discourse that emerged, it was a great deal of fun to reverse the typical design process that most of the students were used to in school; starting with a joint and ending with a space. - At what point can one joint become the structural frame for a building? - Can that same joint be used to define surfaces and crete programatic spaces? - Where does the joint ends and the space begins? The program was to create a visitor center that responds to not only the needs of both the visitors and the employees of the preserve but also to climatic and site conditions.
