Raquel studied for her Masters in Architecture at the Technical University of Madrid. She then worked as an architect in a small practice in Madrid, mostly focusing on residential and conservation architecture. In 2011 she won a runner-up award in the ‘Europan 11’ competition for young European architects.

Her interest in sustainable urban design, accessibility and public realm design led her to study in a Master's in Landscape Architecture and Gardening program. She improved her planting design skills working with the curator of the Royal Botanic Garden in Madrid.

In 2013 Raquel moved to London and worked on several sports, public realm, resort and master-planning projects including the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar, Four Seasons Montenegro and North West Cambridge development.

Raquel joined Populous in 2015 to lead the transition to BIM in the Landscape Team. She has been working closely with the BIM Manager to develop best practices and protocols for Landscape, as well as managing the BIM models. Raquel also participated in AU 2016 as a speaker on 'The secret to landscape modeling with Revit'.

In 2017, Raquel moved to Barcelona to join Autodesk as a BIM Specialist.

Raquel’s interest lies in the relationship between architecture, urbanism and landscape, and how the three disciplines must work together to design better and more liveable green cities.
