GIA CHAPTER REPORT: SPRING 2024
28th May 2024
RIAS Chapter Update
May 2024
The Glasgow Institute of Architects
Communications
The GIA held their 156th Annual General Meeting on 25th April in the Centre for Contemporary
Arts (CCA), Glasgow. The meeting was chaired by the outgoing President, Jonathan Potter,
and Andrew Hadden was elected as the new President. James Robb replaced Justine Ramage
as the Honorary Secretary, and other office-bearers were re-elected to their positions as per
below:
• President - Andrew Hadden
• Past President - Jonathan Potter
• Vice President - Karen Kalkreuter
• Honorary Secretary - James Robb
• Honorary Treasurer - Graeme Davidson
• Communications Convenor - Karen Kalkreuter
• Education Convenor - Romain Charlet
• Conservation Convenor - Fiona Sinclair
• Sustainability Convenor - James Robb
• Architecture, People & Place Convenor - Natasha Lucic
At the AGM Donald Simpson and Marah Ramadan, from Sheppard Robson, presented a
lecture on University of Edinburgh’s Kings Buildings Nucleus, which won the GIA Supreme
Award in 2023, and Alisdair Clements, from Inch Architecture and Design, and Fergal Feeney,
from Sheppard Robson, presented a lecture on Eastworks Gas Purifiers building, which won
the GIA Conservation Award in 2023. Two very successful buildings and both of the lectures
were insightful and engaging.
The GIA has reached the final stages of the SCIO transfer, which accounts for the dissolution
of the old GIA charity. Following this process the old charity will be legally dissolved and
the number of trustees will be reduced to around 12. The new trustees will be made up by
the office-bearers: President, Past President, Vice President(s), Convenors, RIAS Reps, and
Honorary Treasurer. It is hoped that this process will be completed within the coming weeks
and it is thanks to a former President, Phil Zoechbauer, for overseeing this process for the
past five years.
To celebrate the SCIO transfer the GIA are proposing to host an evening reception to share
details of the new structure with the membership, and to encourage more to take part with
the organistation of GIA activities. It has been suggested that this event could take place in
July.
Robin Webster has stepped down from his position as Chapter Representative, meaning the
current Chapter Representatives are Becca Thomas, Matt Loader, and Michael Dougall. There
are five positions available so an advertisement is due to be released, via the newsletter and
social media platforms,in attempt to fill the remaining positions.

Architecture People & Place (APP)
Organising guest panellists and panel reporters for the Glasgow Urban Design Panel
continues to be the main focus of the APP committee. At present there is a healthy number
of participants who represent the GIA, however to sustain this support going forward more
participation is required.
A priority for the GIA over the next period is to advertise for more guest panellists and panel
reporters, which will reach the membership via the regular newsletter and the social media
platforms.
In advance of the Glasgow City Council Elections in May 2022 New Glasgow Society & GlA
successfully collaborated to host a hustings event, for Glasgow’s Built Environment, at the
Trades Hall. Following the announcement that the next general election will take place on
4th July, it is hoped that this event can be organised again.
Education
The education committee continues to successfully engage with Architecture students and
it is hoped that the new SCIO structure will make the organisation more accessible and
welcoming to students.
Following completion of the academic year, student award judging has been ongoing at
the Mackintosh School of Art (MSA) and the University of Strathclyde. It has been great to
see the students work, and thanks to all of the judges who have taken part in the process.
The award winners will be announced soon and the award ceremony will take place at Civic
House, with the exact date still to be confirmed.
The GIA, as Trustees of the Alexander Thomson Scholarship, are also due to announce
the launch of the 37th edition of the triennial competition. This edition will be titled ‘Re-
Imagining St. Vincent Street Church’, and the competition will seek to provoke a debate on
how we re-use, or occupy A listed Buildings that have fallen vacant.
Further details of the competition are to be announced in June.

Conservation
There was a lot of interest in the ‘Re-Imagining Cumbernauld’ design competition, which
attracted entries from across the UK. The judging process was thorough, and the jury was
formed by:
• Professor Gordon Murray
• Professor Karen Anderson
• Dr Diane Watters
• Dr Penny Lewis
• Dr Lorens Holms
• Jonathan Potter, President GIA
The results of the competition were announced at the AGM which included two winners:
Winners
Joseph Higgenbotham - ‘Race to Retrofit’
Max Cooper Clark - ‘Grasping the Nettle’
Runner up
Dylan Baliski - ‘Connecting Cumbernauld’
Shortlisted
Pam Sanderson
James Waddington
It is hoped that an exhibition can be staged in Cumbernauld itself, in due course.

Sustainability
A building visit was arranged to Civic House, by Collective Architecture, which is a great
prototype for energy positive retrofit. A visit was also arranged to the National Manufacturing
Institute of Scotland, by HLM Architects, which is net zero carbon in operation and is a great
example of the use of structural timber. Both visits were very informative and well attended,
and a third visit is planned for to the Parkhead Hub, by Hoskins Architects.
On 23rd May, the GIA collaborated with Architects Climate Action Network (ACAN) to
host ‘ReEnergise’ where guest speakers Barnabas Calder, Florian Urban, and John J Burns
discussed how ‘Architecture can save the world’. The event was very popular and it is hoped
that the GIA can collaborate further with ACAN, and other built environment organisations,
on sustainability and climate matters.
A series of sustainability focused talks are also planned to take place with ERZ, and others,
going forward.
