| IAA launch 2010 Design Awards Architects in the Highlands and Islands are being urged to counter claims that Inverness is one of the ugliest cities in the UK by highlighting design excellence in the region. Organisers of The Inverness Architectural Association (IAA) Design Awards 2010 hope that entries will debunk the myth that the region's capital is an 'architectural monstrosity' worthy of its recent 2010 Carbuncle Award nomination - a competition which shames the most dismal places in the country. The IAA Awards, which launched at the Inverness Archive 24th March 2010, will showcase the very best buildings, built environments and landscapes completed across the North in the past two years. Local area judges would like to hear from architects or clients about new structures of all sizes, restored buildings, external spaces, and innovation within the industry. Members of the public will also have the chance to nominate their favourite new building and the design which they believe demonstrates the best use of timber in an Open Award category, which can be contested by any project in the Highlands and Islands. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
