  The ineptitude of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) | archsoc.com
We think the history of the RAIA shows that it is a prize collection of nitwits; who serve their members badly, and, quite often, attack their own compatriots.

 The Comfort Zone - 30/10/2004: Architecture Awards
And when they do get the opportunity, it’s often difficult for today’s architects -- who trained in the socialist and rationalist ethos of modernism -- to deliver the heavenly glory and gravitas that traditionally must be communicated to congregations of the faithful.
The vital test for a church architect is how creatively and poetically they can allow sunlight to theatrically perform under all kinds of weather conditions to touch the hearts of worshippers and make them feel an intimate sense of belonging to the universe created by the deity.
