Every year, hundreds of students graduate as architects across Colombia, producing projects and theses that reflect their personal interests, research, and motivations. Unfortunately, once their studies conclude, these projects often remain buried in a laptop folder or on a library shelf. We know, however, that many of these theses address fundamental issues in contemporary architectural practice, not only in Colombia but globally.
For this reason, we are launching the third edition of our open call for graduation theses in Colombia. If you believe your undergraduate or graduate thesis is strong enough to be published on ArchDaily and deserves global recognition, it is time to submit your entry using the form at the end of this article.
