KALEB DUARTE PORTFOLIO 2024

HI! I’M KALEB. As a multidiciplinary artist from Columbus, Ohio, I’ve adopted the urban fabric of my hometown as a template for addressing some of the most complex and deeply rooted issues of the built environment.

Through artistic expression, I’ve explored space, grammar, and emotion as inspirtion for my work. Every work I make starts with a question In this portfolio, you’ll explore a wide breadth of my professional and artistic endevours, ranging from my architectural studio, animation and rendering techniques, photography, my work as a BIM coordinator using Autodesk Revit and as a student researching design and additive manufacturing.

I’m currently a UG1 studying architecture at the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University, with minors in Environment, Economics, Development, and Sustainability as well as Comparative Studies.

What if your character was an inanimate object?

The wacky concept animation FRAGILE: THIS SIDE UP expands on this through ambitious pace, vertigo-inducing camera angles, and a plot-driving jazz tune.

Originally a series of stills, FRAGILE: THIS SIDE UP proved to be my first dive into formal animation.

OZONE ROBOTICS BRANDING

2022-2023

I developed a new brand identity for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 4611, otherwise known as Ozone Robotics, as well as animated educational content.

The primary logo was originally designed in Blender 3.2, using objects and holdout masks as “layers.”

How can a space be both alien and familiar?

The synthesis model asks this through a series of juxtapositions: Earthen yet strange. Organic yet otherworldly. As though carved from the earth, the thickened ground evokes an uncanny sense of familiarity, perhaps reminiscent of the

arch-like geological formations found in the ancient deserts of the American West. Using a subtractive modeling technique, the resulting caves and cantilevers relieved from the thick cardboard allow for infinite unique spaces of contemplation, forcing its inhabitants to reconcile with the scale and magnitude of the formation.
