Ryan is part of Spirit of Space, which uses digital media to celebrate and promote a greater awareness of designed environments for the architectural profession and the wider public audience.

Spirit of Space believes that video is the most effective tool to communicate the value of design because film transcends time, space, language, and culture. Offering professional consulting services with those involved in the profession and education of architecture, Spirit of Space bridges together both the architectural profession and the wider public audience through the production of short films featuring finished works and design process.

Society's understanding of architectural space is perhaps difficult to describe because understanding often takes shape when a subject is experiencing it. The effects of spatial atmospheres within a specific design and the dialogue between both spatial expression and impression seem to only come about in a subjective, experiential way.

Spirit of Space attempts to reveal this exchange of activities and emotions within a space. It is an investigation into what a space provides and means to its users. While experiencing and documenting various layers of a space, idiosyncrasies unfold and present themselves to the camera lens. The time devoted to capturing this interaction results serendipitously, in a unique film.
