Spain launches curatorial competition for its pavilion at the 2020 Venice Biennale

Join us for our presentation of Final Degree Projects in Spain 2019

Every year, hundreds of architects graduate across Spain, producing projects and theses that vividly reflect their personal interests, research, and motivations. Unfortunately, once their studies conclude, these projects often remain tucked away in a computer folder or on a library shelf.

However, we recognize that many of these theses address fundamental issues relevant to the practice of architecture today, not only in Spain but globally. For this reason, we are launching the first edition of our call for entries for Final Degree Projects (PFC) in Spain.

If you believe your final degree project deserves to be published on ArchDaily, it is time to submit your entry!
