The Regional Architects Association, a new architectural body created to specifically address the needs of regional communities, was launched this week, with a group of architects intent on making a difference to towns outside of metropolitan areas.
Described as being ‘independent and driven’, the RAA has been founded by a group of like-minded leading regional architects from across New South Wales with a vision to better the landscape for the profession, their clients and the communities they live in.
In the wake of the Black Summer bushfires that engulfed the Eastern seaboard, flash floods and population shifts have also become problems for regional communities, something the RAA plans to tackle as both an association and at its inaugural conference to be hosted later this month.
