AGUSTÍN CASTILLO MARTÍNEZ

Agustín Castillo Martínez is a Professor (Interim Substitute) specializing in Construction Engineering. He obtained his PhD from the Universidad de Granada in 2016, supervised by Dr. José Carlos de San Antonio Gómez and Dr. Miguel Angel León Casas. His doctoral research focused on historical construction systems of Granada's sugar industry.

Research Interests: Martínez's work bridges industrial heritage conservation with contemporary sustainability challenges. Key areas include:

• Rehabilitation of abandoned infrastructures (e.g., 'El Caminito del Rey') for regional development
• Daylight optimization and grove impacts in urban environments
• BIM applications in heritage projects
• Historical analysis of ports, machinery, and construction materials
• Geometric and geotechnical adaptations in industrial buildings

Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2011-2024) reveal a consistent focus on sustainable reuse of historical infrastructures, methodological innovations in heritage documentation (BIM, catalogs), and environmental interactions in urban design. Earlier works emphasize Granada's industrial archaeology, while recent outputs expand into sustainable lighting and infrastructure revitalization.
