Milliøns

MILLIØNS is a Los Angeles-based architectural practice founded by John May and Zeina Koreitem. MILLIØNS conceives of architecture as a speculative medium for exploring the central categories of contemporary life: technology, politics, energy, media, and information. Their approach insists on an expansive parallel project of technical, historical an... d cultural analysis, which surrounds and informs their work. MILLIØNS' work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including a commissioned furniture set by Friedman Benda Gallery NYC and Chamber, shows at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York, The Architecture + Design Museum of Los Angeles, Jai & Jai Gallery in Los Angeles, the Museum of The City of New York, the MIT Keller Architecture Gallery, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, among others. Their essays and interviews are widely published, including a recent catalog of work on experimental collective living, entitled New Massings for New Masses (MIT SA+P Press 2015). Recent work includes a retail store on Madison Avenue in New York, residential and cultural projects in California, New York and Beirut, and a pop-up exhibition commissioned by the Los Angeles Museum of Geography.
