RIAS BOSS IN ARB ABOUT-TURN

摘要

The president of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) has been forced to perform a major U-turn over the forthcoming ARB elections. Two weeks ago Douglas Read published a letter that called on all Scottish architects to vote for one of the candidates, Jim Cuthbertson, in what would be a vote against the ARB Reform Group. But after a fierce row that broke out last week, Read was forced to rescind this recommendation and accept that his organisation must revert to a position of neutrality. In a letter published on the RIAS website, Read made clear his disdain for the ambitions of the reform group.
