Marcelo Spina

Marcelo Spina, AIA, is an Argentinean-American architect and educator. Along with Georgina Huljich, he is a partner in Los Angeles-based PATTERNS, which he founded in 2002 as a speculative platform to explore an increasingly global design culture. His work reveals a rigorous and progressive approach to projects and buildings across scales, agendas, and geographies, insisting on the cultural and social relevance of architectural form, contemporary aesthetics, and emerging technologies. Spina has been a design faculty at SCI-Arc since 2001. He is the editor of Material Beyond Materials: Composite Tectonics and PATTERNS: Embedded, the studio’s first monograph, published in 2010 by Shanghai-based ACDCU.

Their work reveals a rigorous and progressive approach to projects and buildings across materials, scales, agendas and geographies, insisting on the cultural and social relevance of architectural form, contemporary aesthetics and emerging technologies. Their books include ‘PATTERNS: Embedded’, the studio first monograph published in 2010 by Shanghai based ACDCU and ‘Mute Icons & other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture’ recently released by ACTAR Press.
