News and Events
The IAA has been in a period of relatively rapid growth and development over the past two years. It has been integrally involved with the Highlands Housing Fair, a major Architectural competition resulting in a new small community of thirty-five houses which will open to the public in 2009 as a major national and international exhibition. IAA representatives have also been heavily involved in the Six Cities Festival of Design 2007; the Inverness section of the Six Cities took as its theme "Home / Environment" and involved numerous lectures, exhibitions and public events around the theme of sustainable housing and related issues.
Projects currently in development by IAA include;
- The IAA / Highlands and Islands Awards for Architecture – although other RIAS Chapters have run awards schemes for many years, the logistical difficulties imposed by the geography and distances involved in the IAA Chapter area, have until now prevented such an award scheme being developed. See IAA Awards page for further details.
- Inverness / Highlands Design Review Panel; in liaison with Architecture and Design Scotland, the Highland Council and the Inverness Civic Trust, IAA are leading an initiative to establish an Inverness highlands Design Review Panel, to provide design and development comment and advice both pre-application and during the Planning process.
