RIBA North West

RIBA North West represents over 4,000 Members and 300 Chartered Practices in the region

RIBA North West represents over 4,000 Members and 300 Chartered Practices in the region. Our geographical area covers the entire North West, including Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, Blackpool, Lancaster, Carlisle, The Lake District National Park, and the Isle of Man.

The North West team works closely with a lively network of volunteers, partners and regional stakeholders, including universities and local authorities, to champion better buildings, communities, and environments through architecture. The North West Regional Council ensures the voice of our Members is heard regionally and nationally.

Our activities include recognising outstanding architecture through our awards programme, promoting the profession, and supporting our branches to deliver a range of events for Members across the region.

There's a lot happening in the region. We have several newly established groups and initiatives which are in their formative stages, making now a great time to get involved.

These initiatives include: Architects Create; Equity, diversity and inclusion; Family scheme; Local authority champions; Practice and education; Research and innovation; Sustainability, conservation and heritage committee; and Emerging practice group.

For more information and to get involved in any of these initiatives, please get in touch with the team: riba.northwest@riba.org.
