Frank Gehry (MIT Stata Center)
The MIT Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry, became one of the defining architectural symbols of the early technology era. Built to house computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics research, the project reimagined how physical space could support collaboration, experimentation, and interdisciplinary innovation. Jonah worked directly with Gehry as part of the team managing this entire development, early in his career.
Tension.
MIT’s computer science and AI programs were reshaping the world — but they were housed in buildings designed for a previous era. Could architecture itself become a catalyst for innovation?
Action.
Represented MIT in the design, development, and construction of Frank Gehry’s $300M Stata Center — a radical building purpose-built to foster collaboration and serendipity across disciplines.
Clarity.
The spaces we build shape the thinking that happens inside them. When architecture reflects ambition, it doesn’t just house innovation — it accelerates it.
