Goodbye RFACS
A new and independent "champion" for good architecture and design in Scotland was announced today.

Provisionally named Architecture + Design Scotland, the non-statutory advisory public body will not only take over the design review role of the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland, but will also have a wider role in the promotion and advocacy of good design.
It will work with both the private and the public sectors, in support of the Executive's policy on architecture.

Culture Minister Frank McAveety said: "We hope to get the new body up and running by early 2005. As well as discharging the design review function of its predecessor, it will develop close partnerships with other organisations to promote and encourage better design through a range of new activities.
"These will include providing design advice and training; organising seminars and conferences; and producing guidance where relevant.
"We appreciate the work done over many years by the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland, but the time has come for a change. Further details of the new body will be confirmed after we have held detailed discussions with the existing. Commissioners. Her Majesty the Queen has given her consent to the proposed changes"

RIAS COUNCIL WELCOMES NEW DESIGN AGENCY

The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland warmly welcomes the announcement on 1 October of the creation of "Architecture & Design Scotland". This body, a transformation of The Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland, aims to champion architecture and design, and forge positive partnerships with other national and local agencies. The RIAS has promoted such a positive change for a number of years, particularly since the launch of the Policy on Architecture in October 2001.

The RIAS looks forward to assisting in the transformation process over the next 18 months, and working with the new Agency, building on the Incorporation's current expertise and experience, in order to fulfil the aims of the Policy on Architecture for the benefit of all.
