Competition ARQUIDEAS 2013
The latest addition to the competitions developed by Arquideas over the last few years is the second edition of the Arquideas Grant competition. The goal of this initiative is to promote and encourage continued training for students and young architects.
The Arquideas Grant competition will provide students and young architects who wish to continue their training the opportunity to receive practical experience in an internationally respected architecture studio for a period of three months.
The winner of the Arquideas Grant competition will receive a cash prize to enhance their training and the opportunity to gain practical experience in an internationally respected architecture studio.
To have a chance to win the Arquideas Grant competiton prize, participants must anonymously carry out the proposed academic exercise, which will then be evaluated by the studio collaborating with each edition of the competition.
The winner will be selected anonymously, based only on the material provided to the Arquideas Grant competition.

The current call for the Arquideas Grant competition seeks to recycle the pre-existing structures of an old development project located in southern Tenerife, transforming it into a thalassotherapy centre.
The proposal is to create a thalassotherapy physical health centre, using the pre-existing structures and keeping in mind its relationship with the surrounding area.
This competition provides participants the opportunity to question the typical housing development created during the real estate boom and reinvent its use, as well as to work on its immediate surroundings.
