The Royal Society of Architects in Wales is pleased to announce that Touchstone 2021 will be published later this year and with it will be the 2021 edition of the Touchstone Directory. The directory is the only print publication where practices and sole practitioners are included under one list of architects operating in Wales; and registering your practice for the directory helps fund the continued publication of the journal.
Registration for the 2021 Touchstone Directory is now open. The RSAW is committed to keeping the registration cost as low as possible, with registration this year starting from £35 + VAT, with costs tiered based on practice size. If you would like for your practice to appear in this year’s directory, please download and complete the relevant form below and return via email to rsaw@riba.org.
The registration form also contains full details of pricing, however if you have any questions about the directory or the journal itself, please do not hesitate to contact us.
