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.
2010 Contest
Students will be selected on the basis of 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.

The Foundation reserves the right to reproduce and/or exhibit all or part of the proposals submitted to the contest.

'Two times its surface and three times its volume'
The idea is to design two small weekend cabins next to a lake, two small shelters that only have to meet one condition: one of them must have twice the surface area and three times the volume of the other.
The nice views of the lake and the perfect orientation coincide and the altitude would be approximately 500 meters.
The construction technique can be freely chosen.
Both the design of the pieces and the relationship established between them will be the parameters to take into account when judging the exercise.
