We had a great conversation with Marcelo Spina, an award-winning international architect and educator. He is the Principal of P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S and part of the Design Studio at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc). He is also the co-author of Embedded, Material Beyond Materials, and Mute Icons and co-curator of Matters of Sensation at Artists Space.
His latest book, “Mute Icons: Other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture,” explores historical, contemporary, and speculative images to propose an alternative to the overused and cliche form of communication in architecture. It aims to develop a language and sensibility to discover simultaneous, contradictory, and unexpected readings of architectural form.
Hosted by Hamid Hassanzadeh, founder and creative director of PA, the PA Talks interview series brings together the brightest minds in architecture and design. These captivating conversations explore the lives, careers, and visions for the future of these individuals.
