Jonathan Dortheimer is a masters student of Architecture and researches the field of Open Source and Information sharing in Architecture. He is also a serial entrepreneur, software developer and a licensed architect and founded several software companies.

His research teases argues that: 1. Architecture has always been open and architects have always copied and adapted other's designs in to new creations. 2. The discourse about Open-Source Architecture, since it started continues the disruptive ideas of Christopher Alexander, Architecture without architects and DIY Architecture and by that turned away many architects from the idea. 3. That Open Source licenses are designed to allow professionals to exchange information freely. it's not intended to make professional knowledge accessible to amateurs. 4. Architects can benefit from an Open Architecture knowledge economy creating better, faster, inexpensive and more profitable architecture.

Jonathan Dortheimer designed the Open Architecture license with Adv. Jonathan Klinger in order to provide a legal framework for Open Architecture. https://github.com/dortheimer/open-architecture
