What is ae.i.ou ?
ae.i.ou is a design and research collective that proposes a return to fundamentals.
Founded in 2006 the group was assembled as a collaborative platform that would facilitate the development of interdisciplinary projects. Through these they investigate different perspectives of the urban, such as: visual narratives, urban economics, ephemeral architectures, and forms of urban activation. In the pursuit to provoke thought and discover new grounds for action we sustain that design does not begin with the right proposals but rather with the right questions.
