Archial New Campus Glasgow Appointment Archial Sustainable Futures appointed to New Campus Glasgow. 26 Feb Education funding cuts in Scotland - A call to action The RIBA and RIAS are calling for Scottish members to write to their MSPs to demand action on the Scottish Funding Council consultation which proposed a re-banding of architecture education which would in effect lead to a cut of 22% for architecture courses in Scotland. The Scottish Funding Council's proposed cut is linked to its assumption that architecture is not a studio-based subject and therefore cheaper to teach. However architecture education does require a significant level of studio work including technical support, space and materials as endorsed by the new QAA benchmark statement for architecture. Meanwhile HEFCE have announced cuts for 2011 and we worry that the Scottish consultation could lead the way for further cuts for England and Wales. 26 Feb Architecture and Design Scotland Posts A+DS - the national champion for good architecture, design and planning in the built environment - is currently recruiting for various posts : Architectural Jobs. 25 Feb Suttie Centre Aberdeen photo © Keith Hunter Suttie Centre Aberdeen, Scotland : Bennetts Associates. 24 Feb Peebles School Building Kingsland Primary School, Peebles - design by Archial. 24 Feb Nottingham Creative Village Malcolm Fraser Architects shortlisted for Nottingham Creative Village, England Jacobite Discovery Centre Loch Ness Contest won by cameronwebsterarchitects. 22 Feb Outrage : United Distillers Demolition Highly controversial demolition of brilliant United Distillers Edinburgh. 18 + 20 Feb Gorebridge Hub Gorebridge Community Hub Building : Lee Boyd Architects. 18 Feb Mahlum Endowment Lecture Mahlum Endowment Lecture, University of Washington, USA for Alan Dunlop. 17 Feb V&A at Dundee V&A Museum Dundee, Scotland : Frank Gehry rules himself out of competition. 12 Feb Paul Gilling Exhibition 'Edinburgh - Life on the Edge' 12 Feb onwards Schop Gallery in Edinburgh Maggies Gartnavel News Maggies Gartnavel by Rem Koolhaas to start on site in April. 10 Feb Infinity Bridge Infinity Bridge, lit by Speirs and Major Associates. 10 Feb Sir Nicholas Grimshaw sketchbooks exhibition Nicholas Grimshaw exhibition + lecture in Edinburgh - see Edinburgh Events Glasgow City Mission photo © Andrew Lee Glasgow City Mission Building : Elder & Cannon architects. 1 Feb Glasgow News Highlights from Jan 2010 Rosslyn Chapel Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland : Digital Images released 29 Jan 2 West Regent Street photo © Neale Smith Photography 2 West Regent Street - photos : RMJM. 28 Jan Ewan Cameron Architects Profile added for Glasgow practice : Ewan Cameron Architects Karen Anderson - A+DS Chair Karen Anderson named as the new chair of A+DS : Architecture + Design Scotland Whitelee Wind Farm photo : Keith Hunter Whitelee Wind Farm Visitor Centre - new photos : Hypostyle Architects. 22 Jan Civic Trust Awards 2010 The five projects from Scotland to make the shortlist: - Carrochan, Loch Lomond and the Trosachs National Park Authority HQ, Balloch - Fraser Building, Glasgow - Hotel Missoni, Edinburgh - New Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow - Potterrow Edinburgh Development for the University of Edinburgh Fred Goodwin @ RMJM Sir Fred Goodwin has been appointed as a consultant at RMJM. 15 Jan Burj Khalifa, UAE : World's Tallest Building - new photos. 6 Jan
