Eat, Live, Shop, Play Mixed-Use in Adam’s Morgan
This project was located in trendy Adam’s Morgan in NW Washington, D.C. on the corner of 18th St and California St. Through an analysis of the area the design focused on creating a visual and physical experience for the resident while maintaining a connection to the fabric of the community through the building’s façade & it’s height. The design focused heavily on developing sustainable daylighting while maintaining views of both Adam’s Morgan and downtown Washington, D.C. ARCH402 Fall 2014 Professor Hooman Koliji
Parametric Façade Design Louver Application
This project was done in conjunction with the mixed-use design project in Adam’s Morgan. Here, through daylighting analysis, the design explored an automated louver system for the western façade using parametric modeling with grasshopper. ARCH470 Fall 2014 Professor Brent White

WaterShed
U. of Maryland Solar Decathalon This was a project that I entered into in the final stages of the design. The WaterShed design won the 2011 Solar Decathalon in Washington, D.C. Its design focuses on a susatinable living environment. Design highlights include are Green Roof, Photovolteic Array, Wetland treatment, and Solar Water Heater. These design implimentation in combination with the UMD School of Engineering’s inovations and inventions helped to make WaterShed the 2011 Solar Decathalon winner. 2011
Urban Redesign
The City of College Park stems from a hybrid of the campus of the University of Maryland and the town that grew around the Route 1 corridor and the railroad. However, both developed independently of each other, campus growing under the auspices of its of plan and College Park under the heavy influence of Route 1 and the traffic flow it brought through the town. The city suffers from a cultural, physical and planning rift between the school and the city itself. Therefore, there is a necessity to blend the University with the city and create a single united College Park. Identifying the major issues and concentrating on the Route 1 corridor, in a group of three, we redesigned three areas along Rt. 1, the Innovation District, Chapel District, and South Commercial District, thus reinventing the corridor and the downtown disconnect that occurs there. Furthermore, we developed the connections between the University and the City to create a new college town in College Park.

The Hall
[Re]Inventing a College Town Given the unique opportunity to work with both the City of College Park and the University of Maryland to design the City Hall for College Park. This design would be unique, in that it would be a building that would incorporate both City and University. The challenges posed with this design were in the way to bring both entities together while maintaining their unique identities within the context of the City Hall.

The Wall
THE WALL: [Re]Inventing a College Town Jonathan Margulis | ARCH403_Spring ’15 | Simon
[Re]Inventing a College Town This project was an adaptive reuse design. In [Re]Inventing the former bar, the Barking Dog, a redesign was imagined in which a space brought together the University campus and the City of College Park, a blend of these two distinctly different and separate entities, to begin a process in which downtown College Park would be a more unified college town. The wall was designed to serve as the focal point, about which the program revolves. A contortion of a yin and yang, in which we enter the building from Route 1 or from the Campus side on either side of the wall, is most distinctively seen in the light wells created along the wall to bring much needed light into the building. These join at the center at which the vertical circulation meets gallery to form a wall of art that can be experienced both from the ground floor, second floor, and the stairs.

Research: Aperlae Ancient City Survey
Research done as part of a field team led by Professor Dr. Robert L. Vann on the Southern Coast of Turkey. The trip consists of visits to historical and archaeological sites in southern Turkey and Istanbul. For the past two years (2013-2015) I have participated as a student the first summer and a staff member both on the trip and at U. of Maryland. Over the course of ten days of the trip we spend every day out in the field surveying the ruins of Aperlae. On site students measure features and create drawings and diagrams of both what they see and diagrammatic survey plans that can then be recreated digitally. Using skills and tools such as laser measurement and the Faro LIDAR [a 3D scanner] have not only taught the students valuable skills but also sped up gathering data in these past couple of seasons. My main focus for the past two seasons has been the sarcophagi that scatter the hillsides in and around Aperlae. Through detailing location, type and style of these Lycian Sarcophagi, we have not only determined a timetable for the city but also gathered valuable information as to the types of people living there as well
Arza Building Development Motza Illit Residential
This project is an on going project of 30 residential buildings each three stories tall. The project is poised on top of a hill with a view out into the Jerusalem Hills. This project follows the contours of the landcape providing residents with views and and an open atmosphere. The project also includes a community center, a fitness center, pool, and three floors of parking. Not only does the landscape facilitate the design but its influence is felt in the apartment layouts as it provides a feeling of a private home. 2017
HaMekasher
Kiryat Moshe Residential This project is an on going project of two residential towers, 24 stories high, in the city entrance of Jerusalem. Butting up against the Jerusalem light rail in the Kiryat Moshe district, this high rise building features two towers, a community building, and three floors or parking. It is part of the citie’s attempt to revive and recreate its city entrance, thereby becoming an innovation center and bringing high-tech and start up companies to the nation’s capitol. 2017

Classical Art Education Paintings & Drawings
Studies in classical art through various media such as, pencil, pen, charcoal, pastel, and oil on canvas. For 15 years, I studied under the auspices of Natasha Piskunova and Vitaliy Romanenko. Both trained in classical and contemporary art schools in St. Petersburg Russia. Here I was introduced to fundamental skills and concepts taught through both classial and contemporary methedologies.
Thank You.
