The GIA Design Awards celebrate the very best of architecture being produced within the GIA Chapter or by our GIA Chapter Members. These awards offer a snapshot into current architectural thinking across a variety of typologies, with the successful entries going on to join a long list of prestigious GIA Award Winning projects.

Join us to celebrate the 2026 GIA Awards winners, show off your recent work and discuss the direction of architecture in Scotland amongst fellow architects and clients.
