A Tour Filled Weekend

I've produced 8 videos for the 2011 Homes By Architects Tour.

This year's videos give you a taste of what you'll find on the tour, as well as provide insight into the design process and relationships built between architects, builders, and clients. All of which are viewable on the HBA Youtube Channel.

Here are a few of my favorites.

This weekend, Sept. 17th and 18th from 10am-5pm you can visit 14 spectacular homes designed by Minnesota Registered Architects. I'll be there to meet visitors and get their impression of the tour, the homes, and tidbits from the Architects who will be at the homes they designed all weekend long.

If you're looking for me, this is my Route:

Videotect Update: View and Vote!

I just returned from a series of projects in Chicago and Oklahoma City to learn that the films for Videotect are now online. There are some real gems in this group. My collaborator and co-director, Craig Hinrichs and I are very pleased with our film, Ups and Downs, and feel it adds humor and joy to this visual conversation about skyways and their impact on the urban environment.

Voting will be taking place from this link March 7th-18th (under the name "Siemers") and we would love your support. But we hope you get a chance to enjoy many of these films whenever you find some free time. These votes will help select the films that will be shown March 31st at the Walker Art Center Cinema. Where winners will be selected from both the Audience and anounced by the Videotect Jury.
