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 essays and interviews are widely published, and their work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows at Friedman Benda Gallery NYC, 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, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, among others.

Zeina Koreitem will present MILLIØNS’ work, ranging from computational color and point cloud experiments, to furniture and speculations on collective living.
