COVER LETTER Dear Sir/Madam, RE: ARCHITECT My name is Paula Santillana Astuy and I am a newly registered architect by the University of Navarra, in Spain. Currently I’m looking for new professional experiences or opportunities to take the next step in my career.

My recent experience in Prada & Quintana Arquitectos provided the opportunity for me to work autonomously to meet tight deadlines. Also the experience on-site work in Puerto Venecia gives me the global view needed to plan, coordinate and be involved in all phases of an architectural project. I am interested in the importance of details in a building, while keen to discover more, staying open to learning about new fields.

Besides, I have had the experience through every summer work which has included receptionist and administration work. Throughout all of these roles, customer service and team work have been major components and I have consistently demonstrated the ability to interact with a wide variety of people of different ages and backgrounds. My managers and supervisors can endorse my work ethic as I am hardworking and reliable.

In addition, while undertaking the Architecture Degree in University of Navarra, I have discovered the passion for innovative design solutions. Throughout my studies I have developed skills for research and design strategy. Maybe the most important difference between our training and yours is the technical aspect that architects have in Spain. You can see a link with my final thesis project which clearly shows my knowledge of structural design and material resolution, as well as my ability to utilize AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, Adobe InDesign or Photoshop and other graphics communication programs.

This portfolio I have enclosed is a short selection of my academic work I believe are most important and contributes to my personal education as an architect.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at my application.

I look forward to hearing from you to further discussing this opportunity with you in person and show you my folio and discuss the opportunity of joining the team.

Best regards,

Paula Santillana Astuy p.santillana.astuy@gmail.com +34 618291050

The purpose was to build a space where architects can get together and organize architecture congress or expositions. The place to construct would be a rural valley in Navarre. It is a place of a very special isolated architecture and wild nature.

The structure is a compact piece which dialogue with other strew pieces on the landscape. It is entire made with natural materials as wood.

5th YEAR PROJECT Sept - December 2011

09 · Paula SANTILLANA ASTUY

The aim of this renewal is the regeneration of the whole area in a little town near Bilbao.

The main difficulty was the resolution of the limit between factories and the urban zone.

It makes an answer to a special point changing a death area to social spaces.

The strategy used was the creation of underground space lighting with a patio, leaving the museum in the old building.

4th YEAR PROJECT January - February 2011

11 · Paula SANTILLANA ASTUY

The idea was to set up a building which divides the existing square in 2 spaces.

We can create an interior street enclosed by our building and Corrales and Molezún’s construction.

On the other side we have enough space to dispose a courtyard for children near the school.

VOLCANOES’ HOTEL-MUSEUM IN TIMANFAYA NATIONAL PARK Lanzarote, Canary Islands. SPAIN Prof. Miguel Ángel Alonso del Val

4th YEAR PROJECT Nov - December 2010

The proposal gives the feeling that visitors were inside a real volcano with different scales, it gives a sense of oppression. The local materials make an interesting relation between interiors and exterior lunar landscape.
