About 

My name is Nerea Casado and I got a master in Architecture in 2007 by SEK University in Segovia, Spain. I have been working in several bureaus taking part in different architecture fields since 2004, when I was still a student. I have carried out some projects that involve design process -concept and development- 3d visualizing and making models as well as construction details, structures and installations.
Throughout my professional development I have always had motivation to manage my career into a multidisciplinary area. My goal is to consolidate my knowledge in new technologies and new media -graphic design, 2D and 3D visualization, motion graphics…- by specialized training and multimedia research. In 2008 I pursued a master degree in “Computer graphics -2D and 3D- in architecture, design, and multimedia”. Thus, I achieved the ability to link these disciplines with architecture, in order to build and create experimental spaces or structures -more or less complex- using new technologies, sustainability, representations system-animations and images-, new materials...
During the last years I have been able to carry out the whole project by myself, from the overall building to the deepest detail. In addition, I have been focused in graphic design to create a brochure of two European Programmes and an architecture book for a foundation, in last months.
