Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture & The Cockburn Association maybe seem unlikely partners but we have cooperated on many events, issues and articles.

Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture gave a The Cockburn Association Talk in 2001 and Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture's owner-operator, Adrian Welch, has been a member of The Cockburn's Cases Committee since that point.

Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture & The Cockburn Association have worked together on trying to move forward the Edinburgh Architecture Centre concept through various meetings with relevant parties, articles and suggestions.

The Association's former director, Martin Hulse, provided a monthly Comment on the Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture site until his departure to England: these are summarised below.

Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture and The Cockburn Association provided comment on proposals to redevelop Edinburgh's Old Town Fire site.

Finally, Edinburgh Contemporary Architecture provided The Cockburn Association with a wide range of building reveiews for their Doors Open Day 2003 website.
