Each year, hundreds of architects graduate across Spain, producing projects and design statements that serve as a vivid reflection of their interests, research, and personal motivations. Unfortunately, once their studies conclude, these projects often remain buried in a computer folder or on a library shelf.
However, we know that many of these theses address fundamental issues in contemporary architectural practice, not only in Spain but globally. For this reason, we are launching the first edition of our PFC open call in Spain.
If you believe your Final Degree Project deserves to be published on ArchDaily, it is time to apply!
