Covering a large geographical area from our base in Cardiff, we provide support for members through CPD and our two annual conferences.

Our annual award schemes recognise outstanding architecture through the RIBA Awards and we support the Royal National Eisteddfod with the delivery of the Eisteddfod Architecture Medal and student scholarship.

Our core programme is complemented by local events organised by volunteer members in branches throughout Wales.
