The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) is the professional body for architects in Scotland. It was founded in 1916 by Robert Rowand Anderson who donated his Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh to be used as its home, where it remains to this day. It was given its first Royal charter in 1922, followed by a second in 1929. Associate membership is available to anyone registered as an architect who lives and works in Scotland.
The Incorporation is an independent body representing chartered architects working in Scotland although it consults regularly with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) regarding UK-wide professional issues. It lobbies Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Executive directly on relevant issues.
The President as of 2005 is Doug Read and Chief Executive is Mary Wrenn. The Incorporation is run by an elected National Council comprising representatives of individual chapters and elected members.
The Incorporation offers accreditation in specialist fields including historic building conservation and environmental sustainability.
RIAS Award for Architecture
The RIAS award was founded in 2002 by the architect Andrew Doolan, whose work included the Point Hotel in Edinburgh. The award is given to the best new building in Scotland, as judged by a jury of assessors. The value of the prize is £25,000, making it the largest prize for architecture in the UK. Initially the prize money came from Doolan, but following his death in 2004 there were doubts as to whether the award could continue. The responsibility now lies with his mother Mrs Margaret Doolan who now patronises the award and from 2005 the award has been renamed the "RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture" in his memory. Winners have included: the Enric Miralles' Scottish Parliament building; Bennetts Associates' University of Edinburgh Informatics Forum; and Reiach & Hall's Pier Arts Centre in Orkney. The Maggie's Centres in Dundee, Kirkcaldy and Inverness have all been nominated, with the one in Inverness winning the award in 2007.
Rutland Press
The Rutland Press is RIAS' publishing imprint. Its publications include a series of architectural guides covering Scotland aimed at the general reader. Although smaller in size and more limited in scope, the aims are similar to Nikolaus Pevsner's eponymous series on England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
