A collection of projects and essays on Axi:Ome of St.Louis, a young architecture design studio. Like most young designers they employ digital tools in the design process. The difference between their
practice at that of other young studios is the final output of the design process. Axi:ome fully develop their work within the digital and physical realms. Each model and prototype is crafted with the same care as the building itself and represents the practice's desire for more sophisticated spatial form in the built environment.
Spatial Practice is a manual for students and young architects which questions and challenges the current architectural profession. The book is an inspirational collection of work developed through
2000 to 2004. It documents the process and detailed research for each project, giving intellectual definition to architectural production. It outlines the multi-disciplinary processes of Axi:ome from graphics and engineering to computational, spatial and experimental attitudes toward architecture.
