Fuzzy Aggregates

Fuzzy Aggregates was a design studio taught by Marcelo Spina, P-a-t-t-e-r-n-s principal and Architectural Technologies program director. My team consisted of myself, Jennifer Rufener and Polina Timchenko. Our building functioned as an aesthetic aggregate. It is constructed from snippets of Downtown Los Angeles with a focus on abstracting references to the area’s existing typologies.

Reassembling The City

The pieces of DTLA that we chose share aesthetic, functional, and spatial qualities. They were pulled from spaces in Downtown that encourage cultural expression using radial schemes. Our selections enabled us to describe, in discrete terms, how Downtown has historically generated cultural progress and facilitated the movement of people and ideas.
