Arlecchino is a colorful, floral-patterned architectural installation adorning the wall and floor of the College of Architecture’s Azimuth Cafe in Los Angeles, United States. The installation was designed by Elena Manferdini and fabricated by students at the college’s Digital Fabrication Facility during a spring 2011 workshop lead by the artist.
The fabrication work involved cutting and bending the sculpture’s stylized aluminum flower petals using the CNC router, metal break and other tools available to students at the college’s Riverside Campus facility, or Architecture Ranch. Once the pieces were shaped and painted, Eugene Kosgoron, a representative from Manferdini’s firm, and Jim Titus, the college’s woodshop supervisor, helped students install the piece on a wall and floor of the Azimuth in what became a challenging three-day chore.
