about

2AeM is a cooperative design effort composed of the 3 young Midwestern-sprung, spread-the world-out, out-and-out Architecture student-architects: nicholas m. reiter, Jessie Wilcox and Peter Nguyen. The team base was originally Milwaukee, WI but since has become a mobile abstraction or a state of mind. 2AeM is sometimes physical, sometimes sober, partially virtual, usually vocal, and all-the-time IN-it.

We are track jumpers, demons, villains and observing you right now. Design is the New and so are the Stakes.

forecasting mke for the urban age

below is the 'commercial' for the 2010 marcus prize studio i've been participating in this semester.

MARCUS PRIZE 2010 from Spirit of Space on Vimeo.



as i've stated in a previous post; the title of this year's marcus prize is: FORECASTING MKE; for the urban age. this title was spurred on from discussions with Alejandro Aravena - the 2010 recipient of the marcus prize and our 'professor' for this semester [ along with the helpful guidance of mr. ryan o'connor ].

we are to propose projects that have the potential to attract 'knowledge creators' or the 'creative class' in an effort to put mke back on the map...

there's quite amazing potential in this city, from repurposing abandoned or outdated infrastructure [the many grain silos that dot the urban landscape or envisioning a new life for our iconic hoan bridge], to harnessing mke's claim as the 'freshwater capital of the world' and the 'city of festivals', to projecting the future of the working environment.

5 groups, 5 projects, 1 opportunity, 10 more weeks....

thanks to red mike and adam goss at spirit of space for all their hard work.
