Welcome to the temporary website of Architecture+Design Scotland. This site is designed to give visitors an introduction to A+DS (our aims, values, activities and contact details) and access to our latest news. Our full website will be operational in 2007 and we hope you will visit us again then.

Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) is a non departmental public body, established by the Scottish Executive in April 2005 as the national champion for good architecture, design and planning in the built environment.

A+DS has taken over the independent Design Review and Advisory roles of the Royal Fine Art Commission for Scotland and has a wider and more proactive role in advocating the benefits of good design through Enabling, Advocacy, Research and Communications activities. We work with a wide range of organisations at national, regional and local level.

A+DS acts as a key delivery mechanism for the objectives of the Scottish Executive's Policy on Architecture for Scotland. Our main aim is to inspire better quality in design and architecture in the public and private sectors so that Scotland's built environment contributes in a positive way to our quality of life and our built heritage.

A+DS operates as a Company Limited by Guarantee funded directly by the Scottish Executive.
