The best course completion works in 2023. Submit yours!

After at least five years of many sketches, drawings, models, readings and calculations, it is time for Architecture and Urban Planning students to present their final graduation work – often called TCC, TFG or Final Course Project. When choosing the topic, students highlight civil, urban or theoretical projects that, in addition to demonstrating that the student is ready for their training, also have great importance in raising debates about the future of our cities, the built environment, urban infrastructure, mobility and many other fundamental topics to discuss and develop the way we inhabit space.

To complete this work, there is every effort to collect data, research and develop projects to solve major challenges. They are not always properly recognized as they deserve. Therefore, every year we create a call to highlight the best work carried out by students from Portuguese-speaking countries.

So, if you think that your TCC/TFG is relevant and deserves to be known by other students and professionals, pay attention to the notice below and share it with us using the form below.

Take the opportunity to get to know those selected from previous years – 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 – to be even more inspired!
