realities:united are Jan Edler (born 1970) and Tim Edler (born 1965)

Since 1997 the Edler brothers work together as architects and artists. In 2000 they founded their studio realities:united in Berlin.

BIX, a light- and media facade at Kunsthaus Graz in 2003 has hallmarked their international breakthrough. Recent works were SPOTS, an urban media installation at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, MuseumX, a temporary urban installation for Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach, as well as two permanent media façade installations in Singapore: AAmp and Crystal Mesh.

In various projects they have been and are cooperating with major architectural offices such as Bjarke Ingels Group, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Foster & Partners, MASS Studies, Nieto Sobejano and WOHA.

Recent awards include the Hans Schäfer Preis from the Association of German Architects (BDA) and the Kunstpreis (Art Prize) Berlin 2009 - section architecture by the Academy of the Arts Berlin.

Aside from their project-related work both of them have taught at/for various institutions such as the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, the Technische Universität Berlin or the Pasadena Art Center College in Los Angeles. Until 2008 Tim Edler held a visiting professorship at the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen.
