STUDIO SUTURA

 ABOUT

Studio Sutura is a Los Angeles–based architecture practice that develops architecture by working within the systems that shape what can be buit.

The name Sutura refers to a joint: a deliberate act of joining separate systems into a working whole. This idea frames how we approach architecture—not as isolated form-making, but as a process of alignment across regulation, construction, and use.

P004 Robotic Timber Joint

Location: Los Angeles, CA 
Program: Pavilion 
Status: Concept 
Year: 2023

This studio engaged in a dialogue about how architects consider the tension between the machine as a component of labor and meaning. The project explored tectonic expression in a contemporary dry-fit timber joint. Softwood lumber was used to create intersecting members. The assignment is divided into three parts: a traditional joint, a contemporary joint, and a contemporary joint aggregation/array. In addition, robotics was incorporated into the design and fabrication process to investigate new possibilities using advanced robotics.
