Jon Brouchoud’s Experience

  • Founder

    The ARCH Network

    The ARCH Network is a community resource for architecture and virtual worlds, including consultation, training, virtual design, BIM/CAD model import, and hosted Virtual Project Spaces.

  • Co-Founder

    Studio Wikitecture (Self-employed)

    (Self-Employed; 1-10 employees; Architecture & Planning industry)

    July 2007Present (2 years 1 month)

    Studio Wikitecture's central aim is to apply an open-source paradigm to the design and production of architecture and urban planning. In much the same way Wikipedia enables a loose, self-organizing network of contributors to collaborate on content creation, SW has been experimenting with ways to bring together a diverse and geographically disperse community of individuals to create an architecturally noteworthy design that, in the end, is more than the sum of its parts.
