Welcome to EAA

This is the essential site for up to date architecture news, CPD and social events in the Edinburgh chapter area.
The Directory of Architects is available (free!) for all architects and practices to upload comprehensive practice information, including images of their work. This database is a very useful tool for prospective clients & consultants to locate an architect.
If you are looking for staff or seeking new challenges, vacancies may be advertised on the site (also free!).
The site also contains details of the EAA council membership & minutes of council meetings, so all EAA chapter members can keep up to date with what we are doing and who to contact on relevant issues, like education, RIAS and local authority performance.

Our Best Buildings: Poll Results
As a celebration of 150 years of the Edinburgh Architectural Association, its Council chose three notable buildings from each decade since its inception.
To celebrate the wealth and variety of wonderful buildings in Edinburgh, the Lothians, the Borders and West Fife, people were invited to vote for the building they liked best from each decade. (And to let us know if their favourite building didn't appear.)
The poll closed on 30th June and you can see the results by clicking here .The buildings chosen will be highlighted in a book published later in the year.
