Scottisharchitecture.com is an online architecture centre, that is part of Architecture and Design Scotland's ACCESS to Architecture Programme. The website is designed to engage, inform and illuminate on all aspects of Scottish architecture and the built environment, across as wide an audience range as possible - from students and young people taking part in related workshops to professionals looking for lively and up-to-date news and debate.
Scottisharchitecture.com offers an important portal to information relating to projects delivered by the ACCESS to Architecture programme. The website also provides:
- comprehensive and constantly updated news;
- diary details of forthcoming events around Scotland;
- regularly updated features on new buildings and places;
- an education resource aimed at learners across all ages;
- articles, interviews and blogs reflecting the latest thoughts and developments happening across Scotland and beyond.
Scottisharchitecture.com considers the virtual visitor every bit as important as our real exhibition visitors and event participants.

Are you making the most of your school building? Would you like to learn more about how to use architecture as a teaching resource to deliver the Curriculum for Excellence? Architecture and Design Scotland offer daytime or twilight CPD sessions in your school to give staff the tools and ideas they need to really make the most of their own school building and deliver built environment education without having to leave the school grounds. Learn to look at your space in a new and exciting way.
This CPD opportunity enables teachers to deliver the 'Model School' project developed by architects Kathy Li of Strathclyde University and Andy Campbell of Dress for the Weather. The project involves a series of lesson plans which cover all areas of the Curriculum for Excellence taking students from a basic understanding of architecture through to completing a design for their ideal school building.
All the materials will be available for download here shortly and we would love to see what your class has produced on our GLOW group so please upload any photos and or film you have as a result of the 'Model School' project.
The first series of twilight workshops took place in May 2011 and were very well received.
