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.

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.

Born in Navarra in 1957, Francisco Mangado is an architect from the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra, where he has been a professor since 1982. He has also been a visiting professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. Likewise, he has been Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor of Architecture at Yale University's School of Architecture. Mangado is also a professor of Projects in the Master of Architectural Design, an extraordinary professor of Projects at the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra, and a visiting professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. In June 2008, he promoted the Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad, which works to foster the interaction of architecture with other disciplines of creation, thought and economics. Simultaneously to his academic activity and his dedication to the Foundation's programmes, he has been working as an architect from his studio in Pamplona.
Through this professional work, he has received, among others, the Andrea Palladio Architecture Award, the Thiene Architecture Award, the Architécti Award, the CEOE and FAD Award, the First Place in the 20th edition of the 2005 Urban Planning, Architecture and Public Works Awards granted by the Madrid City Council. Besides, he has also been awarded the 2007 Saloni Architecture Award, the 2007 Enor Architecture Grand Prize, as well as the 2007 COAL First Place for Architecture. The Spanish Pavilion at Expo Zaragoza 2008 has won the following awards:
'Working the limit'
'The geographical limit in architecture is decisive. Whether we like it or not, it marks an inexorable reality from which the project can hardly escape and to which it must respond sooner or later. However, cleverly assumed, it is at the origin of one of the most attractive fragments of architecture throughout history.
A well-known composer has bought a plot in an idyllic landscape, or at least that is what he has told his friend. His intention is to retire there, to build a shelter where he can work in isolation during long periods of time. All he needs about the place is what he has asked his friend to do: to build on a dividing line between land and water, a physical boundary that he considers the limit par excellence, the limit of means and forms of life. His idea is that everything revolves around the studio, which has to be the centre of the ensemble, a wide place to work, check compositions and occasionally talk to a visiting friend. To this purpose, little else is needed: two modest rooms, a bathroom and a small kitchen will suffice. The only thing that is clear to him is that his shelter must be located, physically and conceptually, if possible, on that limit that represents so much for him.'
