The A&DS and RIAS Scottish Student Awards for Architecture

Background

The awards recognise the talent of student architects and are awarded in a number of categories:

RIAS Rowand Anderson Silver Medal for Best Scottish Student

Open to 5th year only - although an individual prize, if students have worked within groups in the 5th year, group work can be submitted alongside individual work to demonstrate the full breadth of the student’s work. Groups cannot win the RIAS Silver Medal but group work is eligible for both the Sust. Award and the RIAS Andy MacMillan Award. Group work should be clearly marked as group work.

Groups cannot win the Architecture and Design Scotland Award but group work is eligible for both the Sust. Award and the RIAS Andy MacMillan Drawing Award. Group work should be clearly marked as group work.
