Invisible

By Heather Woofter and Sung Ho Kim

Invisible introduces the works of Axi: Ome--a design practice led by Heather Woofter and Sung Ho Kim formerly in St. Louis and now in Cleveland and Austin--through a collection of essays and projects that map the firm's trajectory across seven years, from 2015 to 2023.
The book covers 24 built, unbuilt, and conceptual projects located in different cultures and landscapes around the world that engage with multiple programs and scales. Essays by Nader Tehrani, Eric Mumford, Alan Balfour, Jennifer Yoos, Jessie Reiser and Nanako Umemoto with Julian Harake, and Michelle L. Hauk each contribute insight into Axi: Ome's critical frameworks and help define a discourse of complexities in contemporary practice arising from academia. The book documents the invisible ethos that underlies the construction of architectural projects in an intricate world, challenging practitioners to rethink and reexamine how they position their own work in the architectural spectrum. Invisible maps and chronicles an architectural practice as it engages with the pedagogical visions of the profession.
