architecture, people & place

Purpose:

The GIA Architecture, People and Places Committee was formed in 2008 with the following objective:

“The promotion of Architectural and Urban Design matters that can provide tangible benefit to the wider public.”

Through the committee the GIA can engage meaningfully with National and Local Political leadership, local authorities and other

professional groups on matters of policy in relation to architecture and design. The committee also has a particular role in engaging

with the wider community. To further this aim the committee can organise Architectural competitions, events and workshops. Since

the 2018 GIA AGM this committee has been dormant whilst we try to find a new Committee Convener, the new convener will need to

set their own aims and priorities to achieve the committee’s function.

Aims and priorities:

• Engage with National and Local Political leadership, local authorities and other professional groups on matters of policy in relation

to architecture and design.

• Undertake activities that engage the wider public with the subject of architecture and design.

Core Activities:

• Glasgow Urban Design Panel (GUDP)

• Organisation of architectural competitions

Exceptional Activites:

• Organisation of the GIA 150 party at SWG3 in 2018

Why join this group?:

build a team around you. Please contact app@gia.org.uk to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
