2A_eM: 12

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.

A-Periodics?!?! NO....just A tile.

Finishing up my final studio project this quarter for the M.Arch 1 program and this is what i'm left with. 1) a piece of code for danzer tiling, 2) Connection points to make clean connection among tiles, and 3) 100 extra pieces I was never able to put together.....

The built portion of this project consist of roughly 6oo surfaces glued together (4 straight days of building)....the process was a difficult one due to the scale of the pieces. Its a little odd to say that the 1 to 1 scale mock up might have been easier to build then this 3/4 model was...but time will tell after break. Hopefully I'll be able to build this during break! Wish me luck!!

the [dark] cloud

so.... a few days ago we were thrown for a psychological loop.
here's why:

winy maas came to lecture in wood auditorium and two days later a studio mate sent us this link to "the cloud" MVRDV's new project. basically, it's our housing project [but, of course we like out gesture more...]. so, in an attempt to maintain our design genius we - jokingly - said winy must have seen our project and stolen our idea.

i hope that's not the case, but it helped us feel better about our work. then, look what pops up on msn's homepage [not mine] and being hotly debated.
seriously?! get over it people. support the arts, and optimism!
