RIAS Convention

RIAS Convention Aberdeen 10-12 May 2012

Re-engaging with the Past
We already have a fantastic group of speakers lined up for the RIAS’ major annual event, including three Doolan prize winning Scots - Neil Gillespie (Reiach and Hall), Gareth Hoskins (Gareth Hoskins Architects) and David Page (PagePark Architects). David Mackay (MBM Arquitectes) and Oscar Tusquets will both bring some Catalan flavour and John McAslan, whose Kings Cross masterpiece will be triumphantly open, is an international Scot who is always warmly welcomed back home.

More speakers are to be announced soon!

Aberdeen’s Belmont Cinema is an eminently suitable venue for Convention 2012. The recently restored and re-opened picture-house will play host to our traditional Thursday afternoon and Friday plenary sessions, while Richard Murphy’s Park Inn, a more recent addition to the Aberdeen scene, will serve as both the Convention hotel and the venue for the speaker’s dinner on the Friday evening.
