At this year's digital heats, @safetyscotland tasked pupils to uncover potential dangers on a building site, but with a twist.

Watching a video of a site, the teams had to list as many Covid-19 measures as they could see 🔍

We love collaborating with companies like @HFMArchitecture. At our recent heats, they gave 'points to consider' and a site plan.

The task? To design a house that would fit perfectly both on the site plan and within the client's needs. And they produced some brilliant work!

Phenomenal news, and a long time coming! 👏👏

[Aberdeen Architects @AberdeenSA]

In 2019 the gender split for architects under 30 became equal at 50% female and 50% male - ARB annual report

This reflects what we've heard from The Scott Sutherland School of Architecture @RobertGordonUni 😀

The winning team @BYFAberdeen were also 50/50 split.
