The GIA are pleased to announce the launch of the new Glasgow Institute of Architects website. As the largest chapter in the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, the GIA membership is from the Southwest of Scotland.
The purpose of the new site is to act as useful resource for GIA members - to achieve this a number of new features are included:
- News: A feed which searches the web and aggregates news stories relevant to GIA members in to one place.
- Events: A full calendar of events is now accessible through the site, with a new online booking facility. Combined with the committee section, this will keep you better informed of the ongoing work of the GIA.
&- Awards: Entry for the GIA awards is now available via the site, and over time the browsable archive of previous winners will grow. During the judging process, all submitted entries will be profiled on the site.
RIAS members will be able to log in to the site to reserve places for events and keep their contact details up to date. You can also keep in touch with the GIA via their Facebook page and on Twitter and find their images on Flickr.
