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.

with all the hype of electric vehicles becoming a reality we are going to start facing real life logistic questions very soon.... namely, how and where will we charge these suckers?

telekom austria has recently finished with a prototype for converting obsolete infrastructure into something that could help answer the charge-up dilemma.
