I am a freelance architect and author. Since 2019, I have been leading the journalism project «Learning from Mexico».
I design spaces and objects, as well as structure my own and other people’s projects using words.

Laure Nashed was born in Strasbourg and grew up multiculturally in South Korea, South Africa, Germany and Switzerland. At the age of 13, she fell in love with architecture and spent several summers in a small architectural office in the Swiss village where she spent most of her youth.
She studied architecture at the Swiss universities Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio and ETH Zurich. In 2016, she graduated from the chair of Professor Miroslav Šik and wrote her elective thesis at the chair of Ákos Moravánszky on the aesthetic intentions of hospital facades. Before her studies, she attended the preliminary course at the School of Design in Basel. After several years of professional experience in architectural offices and architectural publishing houses in Switzerland, she moved to Mexico in 2019 out of sheer curiosity about a world unknown to her. She has since been living between the pulsating capital of Mexico and the Swiss countryside.
In Mexico she started her journalism project «Learning from Mexico» with articles that are regularly published in architecture magazines and newspapers in German speaking countries. She had the opportunity to gain an insight into Mexican building culture as an architect in the firms of Tatiana Bilbao Estudio and Ignacio Urquiza Arquitectos. Since 2020, she has been working as an independent architect, journalist as well as a copywriter for architecture firms. In autumn 2021, she taught a design semester at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Anáhuac México.
She speaks German, English, Spanish, French, as well as Swiss German and Chilango.
