To say the design for the replacement St Nicholas House is uninspiring would be putting it mildly. Labour seduced by money and mediocrity.
@aitchisonross not aware of any previous developments, but this is a business park that isn't up to such a prime city centre location.

@callum_mccaig too many have no understanding of what they are actually supporting. Poor architecture is bad for publics well being. -
@ScotVoices I agree. I've been fortunate enough to be at a few lectures on importance of quality design, but would welcome formal training. -
@callum_mccaig it's time to have a serious discussion, especially in Abdn, about what constitutes good architecture. Too much mediocrity. -
@ScotVoices@callum_mccaig sadly in today's society money talks and good design is seen as an unnecessary extra. -
@stuart_gray@callum_mccaig We definitely need a culture shift but have to show value of architect who can deliver good design on budget. -
@ScotVoices@stuart_gray by developing the site ourselves we could have increased quality of design and still get the same receipt. -
@callum_mccaig@stuart_gray Think that's exactly correct Callum and could have reused aspects of existing structure.#sustainability -
@ScotVoices@stuart_gray sustainability of this is very poor. Knock down a tower, bury the rubble, build another tower... - 2 more replies

@callum_mccaig there has to be a general raising of awareness of the importance of quality design. Councillors need classes in architecture.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
