AWARDS
The RIAS encourages best practice through a range of awards covering buildings of all scales.
The SSA is pleased to acknowledge the help and assistance received from our project partners in the delivery of the awards: CUPA Pizarras, IndiNature and Russwood.
These awards are an important way of bringing Scottish architecture before a wide audience and to generate keen interest and debate in the design realm. The RIAS awards are launched every year and are open to all practices in Scotland. A shortlist of entries is prepared and these are then visited by the judging panel.
The culmination of the competition is usually an annual awards dinner and ceremony.
The Stirling Society of Architects Design Awards
Based on the RIAS Awards template, the annual SSA Awards were open to architectural practices throughout Scotland but only for projects completed within the Stirling Chapter Area (Clackmannan, Falkirk and Stirling).
The award for the best project outwith the Chapter area applied to buildings designed by an architect whose practice is in the Stirling Chapter area.
Entries were judged by a visiting panel who also decided which category of award was given to the best projects. The winning entries were then announced at the awards ceremony.
