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.

daeyang gallery|house_ SHA+spiritofspace




by god, those boys have done it again!


long time fans of fellows uwm alumns, spirit of space's team has grown since first starting out (which is fantastic!) and the recent run of videos is showing why.  their works are getting more polished, finer toothed, and did i mention drawing upon a much more renowned clientele?
their latest, documents the daeyang gallery and house outside of seoul south korea by a personal hero of mine, one mr. steven holl.




here is holl speaking a little more about the project:







i love this: "taking inspiration from an istvan anhalt musical composition, steven holl architects designed thishouse and gallery situated in the hills of the kangbuk section of seoul, korea. heel the serenity.  experience the passage of time.  listen to the trickling water.  see light dance on the walls and floor.  enter a state of quiet contemplation.  comprehend what it means for architecture to change."

spirit of space





this is a lovely little project/gallery.  evoking memories of a rustier bloch building in kansas city, and most certainly carries the same poetic command material treatment and incorporation of natural elements to enhance the architectural/living conditions.




my hats of to both steven holl architects and spirit of space.  i see good things in both of their futures!

zumthor v.3D

Documentary of Zumthor! (in 3D)


”Most architects build this stuff and they already have 3D representation. They can enter a building before they even build it. But I think especially with modern architecture, to make a film that really deals with the sense of place and how it changes the way people use buildings and are shaped by cities and buildings, that could not really have been done before,”
Wim Wenders


Many years to complete?  Following a project from start to finish? sounds good to me! And. In 3.D!?
