Bryan Gonzalez
A Brooklyn native, Bryan Gonzalez holds a Bachelor of Technology in Architectural Technology from the New York City College of Technology. Initially pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering with an eye toward construction, he pivoted to architecture after realizing the discipline allowed him to merge his technical mindset with creative spatial design. Since joining MJM+A Architects full-time in 2022 as a Draftsperson, Bryan has steadily advanced through the firm, rising to Assistant Project Manager before earning his promotion to Project Manager. Valuing the comprehensive nature of the practice, he takes pride in taking projects from initial conception through final closeout across both the drafting room and the field.
In his current role as Project Manager, Bryan leads exterior façade repair projects and plays a key role in the firm’s façade and parapet inspection programs. He brings a steady, detail-oriented approach to complex assignments, excelling in intricate architectural and structural detailing, MEP coordination, NYC Zoning and Building Code analysis, and the preparation of clear technical reports. Working closely with the firm’s partners and staff, he also assists in proposal development and guides projects smoothly through the Construction Administration phase.
Bryan remains deeply passionate about New York City’s infrastructure, architectural history, and resilient design, particularly the challenge of balancing form with everyday functionality. He often points to Renzo Piano’s Whitney Museum as a favorite work of architecture for the way its cantilevered entrance and elevated galleries adapt effortlessly to the surrounding High Line and Hudson River. Outside of the office, Bryan continues to exercise his creative eye through fine art, spending his free time drawing and painting.
