Christina Gaiger only second woman at Scottish helm

Christina Gaiger will take over as president of the RIAS today, the youngest leader in the incorporation’s history.

The 33-year-old will serve a two-year term and is only the second woman to hold the post, following Joyce Deans in 1991-3.

She was one of three candidates contesting the election which follows several troubled years for the RIAS which represents 5,100 Scottish architects.
