Aberdeen - Bastion for Quality Architecture?
A major campaign to boost the quality of architectural design could be launched in Aberdeen. Aberdeen City Council is aiming to link up with academics, architects, arts organisations, the private sector and the Scottish Government to drive up standards, and gain international recognition for Aberdeen as a 'City of Design'. They will have a significant challenge ahead.
A report has been prepared by the head of planning and infrastructure, Dr Margaret Bochel. Aberdeen aims to be the first local authority in Scotland to produce a "Policy on Architecture" to pick up on key themes in national design policy. 110708

Prince's Foundation : Ellon
The Sustainable Growth of Ellon event took place on 14 Jun 2007, organised by the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment. Hank Dittmar, chief executive of the Prince's Foundation, said Ellon had become "a dormitory town" serving Aberdeen "rather than a place in its own right”.
The Prince's Trust invited architect Ray Gindroz, chairman of Urban Design Associates, Pittsburgh, to join the workshop and outline a future model for the town. Mr Gindroz identified numerous weaknesses in the town's design, like cul-de-sacs with limited town centre access and large-scale housing developments rather than proper neighbourhoods.
