My name is Carlos E. Castillo, I earned my Bachelor of Architecture degree from Kennesaw State Uni-versity. I am eager to learn more, and I am seeking a position where I can do what I love the most.

My approach towards Architecture design leans toward simple forms and bold moves. I am a firm believ-er in a strong design process and enjoy researching and developing project constraints and motivations that directly inform schematic design and design development. I have experience with a wide range of fabrication tools, from CNC, laser cutters, and wood work power and hand tools. Also, I have strong graphic communication skills and capable of moving smoothly between design softwares. I am highly proficient in Rhino, Auto Cad, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Lumion. Over all I enjoy making physical project models. I have been selected to participate in most of my school’s semester-end studio competitions and I have earned awards in multiple occasions.

I currently live in Atlanta, but I am open to relocate to wherever I am needed. I am a diligent worker and a reliable individual. I and would by happy to offer several references for your use. I would be grateful to be given the opportunity to meet in person to discuss a possible position with your firm.

Sincerely,

Carlos E. Castillo

This portfolio contains samples of my fabrication experience, please visit my website for a full display of my work. I can be reached by phone or email, I will be happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your time.

For the pass year I had the oprtunity to work at Formations Sudio under the direction of Tristan Al-hadad and along side a brilliand group of people. My involvement of this project includes fabricating the wood-en mold for concrete casting. the process involved the use of a large numbe of shop tools as well as hand crafted techniques. Furthermore, I was directly in charge of keeping a steady material supllies and asuring that the team’s short and long term goals were met via schedule manage-ment and proper allocation of human resources required for an efficient producton process.

DIGITAL FABRICATION _______________________________________________________________

Next is a sequence of digital fabrication exercises that combine Rhi-noceros, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and physical modeling. The carving, twisting, and bending of 3D objects are rigorous and precise. It explores the transition from digital space to phys-ical reality, creating unfolded parts for assemblage. Attention to detail was a must for the fabrication of the physical models.

WOODEN SPHERE _______________________________________________________________

For the wooden sphere the chal-lenge was to create a perfectly round surface without the use of sand paper, a constraint that requires the fabri-cation of special jigs and tools.

ATLANTA MIDTOWN OFFICE TOWER __________________________________________________________________

Themidtownofficetowerisamix-use proposal that incorporates officespace, underground parking, and museum on the ground level. For this presenta-tion I have laid out the physical scale model. It was entirely cut and assembled by hand. The base of the model was built out of poplar wood.

The photo sequence across the bottom of the page emulated the construction of the complex from the ground up. They are as follows: (1) Original topography, (2)underground parking level, (3)museum & administration, (4)upper plaza level, and(5)officetower.

The concept behind the Lumier is the idea of levitation; the intention was to create an open central volume that is shielded by “floating” shadingdevices on all four sides. This project wasgreatlyinfluencebystudiesmadeonthe NY Times headquarters by Renzo Pi-ano. The architect used a symmetrical open plan protected by a curtain wall made out of ceramic rods; each strategi-cally positioned to shade the interior of the structure. The shading device ex-trudes out beyond the edges of the main structure creating the illusion of levi-tation. The main variance in the lumier is that each façade is different as a re-sponse to the path of the sun. However each of them shares the same schematic principle, that is; an A-B-A horizontal pattern. At the corners the shading de-vices do not touch one another but rath-er meet perpendicularly in space. The same A-B-A order was use to fragment the inside of the cube. The results of the natural sun light studies showed a great deal of transparency casting crisscross-ing patterns on the ground. At certain times, shadows casted on the surface of the object appear to connect the dis-jointed corners.

WALK BIKE RIDE AT MODA (professional work for formations_studio)____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“AtlantaartistTristanal-HaddadmakesastatementonhealthycitiesatMODA”was the title given by Atlanta magazine to Tristan Alhaddad’s Desing for healthy living exhibit. My involvement on this pice consisted on CNC cuting and texturing 8x4 acrilyc sheets, forming them and latter preparing with installation and curation for opening.

A Living Machine resulted from an extracurricu-lar 10 day desing charrette. Dr.Pega Zamani selected six student volunteers to bring this project to life. This project made extensive use of KSU fabrication lab. The models are made of laser cut pieces of acrilyc.

Red & White chair _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Completed on spring 2012, the Red & White chair was inspired by the study of Russian constructivist and De Stijl movement. It evokes the mainpremisesofthetimeviasimplegeometricalforms,flatcolor,andits clear and strong presence. Poul Kjaerhilm’s PK!! chair was carefully studied in other design ,a more modest piece. The Red & White chair is made out of poplar wood and carafully crafted. The jointery is disguised uder multiple coats of acrylic paint.

Parametric Sphere _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The following is a full size parametric structure made out of ordinary string, hooks, and electrical clamps. The model anchors itself from every surface in the room and converges in the center to form a dodecahedron. All of the members are in tension. The model wasconstructedin24hours.TomasSaraceno’sworkhighlyinfluencedourwork.

Bridge _____________________________________________________________________________

My thesis proposed a Synergetic infrastructural system based on rhizomatic principles of structure with the purpose of address-ing topographical conditions encounter along Bucaramanga’s scrape. It investigates the manipulation of the soil as a primary building block through a combination of earth base construction techniques. Through diagramming by vector mapping, potential points of emergence areidentifiedresultinginadesignprocessthatgentlyandgraduallyreorganizes neglected landscapes into dynamic ecological and urban systems. The project aims is to conceptualize an infrastructural methodology that is both low cost and sensitive to the unlevelled terrain.
