RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture

RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture


The RIAS Andrew Doolan Award for Architecture award was founded in 2002, as the RIAS Award for Architecture by the architect Andrew Doolan, whose work included the Point Hotel in Edinburgh.[1] The award is given to the best new building in Scotland, as judged by a jury of assessors. The value of the prize is £25,000, making it the largest prize for architecture in the UK. Initially the prize money came from Doolan, but following his death in 2004 there were doubts as to whether the award could continue. The responsibility now lies with his mother Mrs Margaret Doolan who now patronises the award. From 2005 the award was renamed in his memory.
