The Nottingham and Derby Society of Architects champions architecture, ideas and initiatives which can improve the places in which we live, and the ways in which we live, for the good of the people of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the architectural profession.
Founded in 1862 we are an inclusive society of architects, related built environment professionals and interested members of the public.
The NDSA promotes a vision for:
environmental and economic sustainability
culturally inclusive places
human scale sociable environments
high quality democratic public space
spatial justice
appropriately designed, good quality buildings
inclusive architectural heritage
progressive architectural education
research and innovation in academia and practice
equitable employment and working conditions
professional standards
We are affiliated to the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), serving as one of four local branches within the East Midlands region.
