Habitat. The Jonathan
Habitat. The Jonathan: The reconstruction of Dwell's website is epic. It's grown into a dynamic resource for readers interested in innovative housing and interior design. The site serves as a great example of what magazines can do on the web. Rather than posting a virtual parking lot, they've made the web another channel to communicate with folks. Big up to Dwell and their redesign. We love what they've done with the space. Recently we came across this article on Jonathan Segal - a fresh architect with a distaste for red tape.
As reported on Dwell: "Tired of waiting for innovative architecture to come to San Diego, this proactive architect added developer to his job description, and brought it there himself. Jonathan Segal’s message is clear: Keep it simple. Segal’s cut-the-middleman, screw-the-red-tape philosophy is straight out of Ayn Rand, and his fervor for urban infill development is flat-out evangelical. After a few minutes of listening to the 43-year-old architect/developer’s spiel, whole new vistas open up: You know that weed-choked lot across from your favorite coffeehouse? With a little imagination and elbow grease, it could be a gold mine."
