PATRON: Newsnight presenter will help judge schools contest.
The Newsnight presenter said more help was needed for the next generation of architects as it is getting harder to become established in the industry.
She said: "There is always more that can be done for young architects. I don't think we do enough in Scotland. It is hard to get a toehold in what is a competitive, international profession. We need to be providing opportunities for young architects at home as well as supporting them abroad. I'd love to see more done."
Her comments come at the launch of a competition run by the cancer charity Maggie's Centres to give school pupils the chance to win work experience at an architecture firm.
Wark, a patron of the charity, will participate in judging the competition, set up with Architecture and Design Scotland and now in its third year.
Maggie's, known for its visually striking centres designed to offer comfort and support for cancer patients and their families, has opened its competition to Standard Grade and Higher pupils.
Aimed at inspiring a new generation of architects, the challenge will be scrutinised by architect Richard Murphy and the overall winner will be offered a week's work experience with his firm.
Finalists will have their work displayed next spring at an exhibition in Glasgow's architecture centre, The Lighthouse. Wark said she thought architects could help breathe fresh life into city centres.
"I don't think it's about preserving buildings so much as it's about giving them new life," she said. "I would like to see more old buildings turned into properties and see more people living right in the heart of the city, giving it a night-time vibrancy, like in Paris"
Maggie's arts and culture co-ordinator Kathryn Lamont said: "It is a great opportunity for Standard Grade and Higher pupils to get a taste of what it is like to be an architect.

Chennai, July 2 (IANS) Quick service restaurant (QSR) company Global Franchise Architects will invest around Rs.40 crore over next two years to add 35 outlets across brands Pizza Corner, Cream and Fudge, The Donut Baker and Coffee World, a top company official said Tuesday.
"The Rs.40 crore investment will be mainly in the southern market where the company owns and also franchisees its QSR brands. Major portion of the investment will go towards owned Pizza Corner outlets," Joseph Cherian, CEO, told reporters here.
He said the company is on the look out for master franchisee for the northern and western regions.
According to him, the current expansion will be on its own Pizza Corner outlets.
Global Franchise Architects has 61 Pizza Corner outlets in South India and 75 percent of them are owned by franchisees.
According to Cherian, the company earns 54 percent of its revenue from the Chennai region and a sizeable portion of the fresh investment will be made in this market.
He said 30 percent of the business is derived from delivery while the remaining from dining in.
While the Rs.1,200 crore pizza industry is growing 25 percent, the first two quarters of the calendar year 2013 saw a dip in sales as compared to revenues logged during comparable period in 2012.
Cherian said the company's back end infrastructure - commissary and others- located in Bangalore have enough capacity to cater to the new outlets planned and the investments will be on the front end.
Interestingly, the company looks at expanding the Cream and Fudge outlets through franchisee route. The company plans to increase the number of Cream and Fudge outlets to 17 from the current seven.

The new $134-million campus for the Emily Carr University of Art + Design a project that has the potential to change Vancouvers urban landscape has reached an important milestone. Proposals for this large-scale project has been narrowed down to three.
The shortlist names announced on Tuesday are all Canadian. They include Vancouver-based Bing Thom Architects, Toronto-based Diamond Schmitt Architects Inc. (working with Vancouvers Chernoff Thompson Architects), and Toronto-based Zeidler Partnership Architects (working with B+H Architects Inc., which has an office in Vancouver).
We have a very strong architectural community in Canada [that] we often tend not to respect, says Emily Carr University president and vice-chancellor Ron Burnett. I think this is a good sign that these three made it through.
Because the project is a public-private partnership, proponents responded to the request for qualifications (RFQ) in teams, each providing evidence they can design, build, finance and then maintain the project for 30 years. Eight national and international teams submitted applications. The P3 process is carefully controlled; Burnett, who sat on the governing committee, had not seen the detailed applications submitted by the shortlisted groups, and did not know who the unsuccessful applicants were.
Diamond Schmitt boasts cultural projects including the recently opened New Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia; La Maison Symphonique de Montral; and the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. Bing Thom is well known in Metro Vancouver, where projects include the Surrey City Centre Library and the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. Internationally, Bing Thom designed the Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater in Washington, and is now working on Hong Kongs Xiqu Centre, scheduled to open in 2016. Past projects by Zeidler Partnership Architects include Vancouvers iconic Canada Place, Mississaugas Living Arts Centre and the recently completed Calgary skyscraper the citys tallest known as The Bow.
Emily Carr which was founded in 1925 as the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts is planning to leave its outgrown Granville Island facility (with the exception of a small legacy space) for a new campus farther east. The Great Northern Way campus will be located in a part of East Vancouver that has attracted a number of commercial galleries and is the site of the Centre for Digital Media, run jointly by four post-secondary institutions UBC, SFU, BCIT and Emily Carr but is otherwise a fairly unremarkable dead zone. The new campus approximately 26,700 square metres will no doubt change that, eventually bringing as many as 2,200 students to the neighbourhood and altering the dynamic of the city, says Burnett.
The move also positions the university, which already boasts an impressive list of alumni as a potential top international school for media arts, design and visual arts, and as a key hub for the creative economy.
The bulk of the funding up to $113-million is coming from the provincial government. Local philanthropist and art collector Michael Audain has pledged $5-million and there have been additional funds raised, according to Burnett. A capital campaign will be launched next spring.
The RFQ states that the campus should be an environment where dividers, walls and corridors transform the interior into an ever-changing, museum-like environment of display that encourages accidental encounters, conversation and engagement among all members of the community. The winning team will be required to use wood in the construction and build the facility to achieve LEED Gold certification.
A request for proposals will be issued to the three shortlisted teams in September, with a winning design selected in 2014 and a contract awarded by the summer. Construction is to begin in the early fall of 2014 and the new university campus is expected to be completed in 2016.
