Cesar Aguirre is a licensed Architect and Partner at AERO Collective, a recently founded Architecture office located in the heart of Downtown Inglewood. AERO Collective collaborates with interdisciplinary design offices, from Interior design firms to furniture fabrication companies. The goal is to bring a synergetic design influence from a broad field of creative and artistic expertise. The project types are purposefully diverse in order to maintain creative curiosity regarding each individual project. Cesar has worked on the design of Restaurants and Bars to Yoga clothing stores and Residential apartment buildings.
Prior to AERO Collective, Cesar worked as a Project Architect at PSL Architects. This was an office dedicated to the design of Affordable and Market-rate residential apartment buildings of varying size, from small 30 unit buildings to larger 300 unit buildings. PSL provided full design services from Entitlement Packages to Construction Documents and Administration. While at PSL, Cesar was the lead designer of three Adaptive Reuse buildings in Downtown Los Angeles, converting underutilized buildings into 160 new residential units in the Fashion District of Downtown LA.
Cesar believes that the strength of cities and communities lies in having a strong and unique sense of place and identity. AERO Collective decided to locate their office on Market Street in downtown Inglewood in order to participate in the ongoing redevelopment of the Historic Street. Cesar, through AERO, is partnering with local community groups and will begin hosting a business start-up speaker series. The program will include panelists and networking sessions to encourage new companies and entrepreneurs to come and set-up office space in Inglewood.
Cesar Aguirre received his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Southern California. He is eager to learn and grow professionally from the Ross Minority Program, looking forward to it inspiring the breath and scope of his Architectural career.
