There are two ways to participate: academic record and contest. You can choose to participate in one or both of them simultaneously. 10 scholarships are available for each modality. To ensure proper geographical distribution of the scholarships, this will be weighted in proportion to the number of valid registrations received by centre and modality.
Academic Record
Candidates will be selected on the basis of their academic record. This will be evaluated by the average of the marks obtained in the subjects passed in the degree course, as well as by the average of the marks obtained in the subjects passed in Projects (for this purpose, all those that depend on the Architectural Projects Department will be considered). These average grades will be calculated by the applicant, as specified in Annex I of the Terms and Conditions.
2003 Contest
Students will be selected based on the material submitted to the contest.
Information may be edited until registration deadline.
Academic record
Once the registration has been completed, access the private user area with your e-mail and password credentials and enter the average of the grades described above in the box provided for this purpose (section scholarships, option 'edit participation')
Subsequently, preselected participants will be required to submit their academic records in PDF format.
2003 Contest: 'Public-private: an interference'
Once the registration has been completed, access the private user area with your e-mail and password credentials, and attach the required documents and complete the required fields.
Required material:
Three DIN A-3 sheets at most, with the report included in the drawing (one DIN A-4 sheet).
Submissions must be made individually. To ensure the anonymity of the participant before the jury, the files sent must omit personal data and include, clearly and visibly, the motto chosen by the contestant and their school. This motto must also be included in the Application Form, which can be found at www.arquired.es/becas, and must be sent by online means. The Jury's decision will be final.

Iñaki Ábalos (San Sebastián, 1956) is an architect from Madrid's Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura (ETSAM), doctor of architecture and architectural projects professor at the ETSAM. He was Kenzo Tange Professor (2009), and since 2010 he has been a guest professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design (GSD). Founding partner of Ábalos&Herreros (1984- 2006) and Ábalos+Sentkiewicz architects, he has also been a member of the scientific committee of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal (since 2005) and of the board of directors of the Barcelona Institute of Architecture (since 2008). He is director of the Laboratory of Contemporary Landscapes and Techniques (since 2002), and in 2009 the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) granted him its international membership. He has taught at the Architectural Association (London), the EPF (Lausanne) and at the North-American universities of Columbia, Princeton and Cornell. He is the author of 'Le Corbusier: Rascacielos' (Madrid City Council, 1988), 'Técnica y arquitectura' (Nerea, Madrid, 1992) and 'Natural artificial' (ExitLMI, Madrid, 1999), with Juan Herreros; and 'La buena vida' (Editorial Gustavo Gili, Barcelona, 2000), the two volumes of 'Atlas pintoresco' (Editorial Gustavo Gili, Barcelona, 2005 and 2007), of Alejandro de la Sota' monograph (Architects Credit Union Foundation, Barcelona, 2009; with Josep Llinàs and Moisés Puente), and editor of 'Naturaleza y artificio' (Editorial Gustavo Gili, Barcelona, 2009).
'Work, nature and leisure'
To upkeep a Natural Park it is required to build a small 'Multipurpose Hall' with five offices, two secretary offices, a meeting room, toilets and a dressing room, a small kitchen and dining room, as well as an exhibition and storage area. Each of these spaces must measure around 15-20 m2 (240 m2). In addition, a 50 m2 rest and reception area for visitors and a garage for two off-road vehicles are planned, all on one floor (total 350 m2).
This 'Multipurpose Hall' must be a Pavilion located in a Natural Park in the Autonomous Community where the candidate resides, located in an accessible but not necessarily predominant location. It should convey, in a very efficient and concise way, the relations that contemporary society establishes with the natural environment and the possibilities that the New Forms of Work Organisation offer for the reformulation of working space without resorting either to open floor plans or to corridor and cell schemes.
