ArchDaily is a constantly evolving digital project. It is an experiment in the documentation, discussion, and dissemination of the most important topics in architecture and urbanism on a scale that would not have been possible twenty years ago. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our team in Colombia is growing!

Our content team works to deliver knowledge to readers around the world on a digital platform that operates in four languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese. Our primary goal is to ensure that all discussions surrounding architecture and the city reach the widest possible global audience.

As we grow, we are looking for talented new writers and editors. Are you passionate about architecture and the internet? If so, this opportunity might be for you!

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.

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.
