Nerea Calvillo qualified as an architect at the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM 1999). That year she was awarded the Fulbright grant to follow a Master’s degree course at Columbia University. She has worked in various practices, such as NO.MAD (Madrid 1999-2001) and FOA (London 2001-2003). In 2004 she founded her own firm - C+, winning several national and international competitions. Her work and articles have been published in architecture magazines and general media.

Specialized in new technologies as a design tool, her research projects focused on data visualization and cartographies have been developed in several international universities and new technologies centers, including her recent project "In the Air". Invisible cities are revealed through collaborative process and multidisciplinary teams, by sensing, describing, interacting and changing behavioral patterns of the existing urban environment. This work was awarded the Poiesis Fellowship of the New York University, and has been exhibited at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Chile (Santiago de Chile), Laboral (Gijón) and in Canadian Centre of Architecture (Montreal) next October, among others.

She is Design Studio Professor at the Universidad Europea de Madrid and the Universidad de Alicante, curated the Media Facades Festival 2010 in Madrid and is currently part of the working group of El Ranchito, a co-curated art project of Matadero, Madrid.
