Raquel de Oliveira Alves - 3rd-year Architecture and Urban Planning Student

3rd-year Architecture and Urban Planning Student: Raquel is a Brazilian student who has 3 years experience studying Architecture and Urban Planning. She has worked with architects in her city doing freelance work and projects that have intensely developed her skills with 3D modeling softwares like Sketchup, Revit, 3DS Max and AutoCAD. Raquel’s passion is visual representations of projects, seeing this is as important as the concept and the creation part of the project. Working in groups is another skill that Raquel excels at, with almost all of her projects in Brazil being made with a team. She likes to share ideas and learn with others. Studying Urban Design in 2014 at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) has added to her passion for design and she won 2nd Place in a competition, “Urban Cities Competition,” transforming abandoned grain silos into usable, energy efficient, and versatile living spaces. Focusing on sustainability and recycling to create and develop ideas, Raquel is helping develop and create beautiful visualizations of village models 4-7.
