Mirrored pavilion will celebrate architecture

A glittering pavilion is to be built at Aberdeen’s Castlegate as the centrepiece of two cultural festivals taking place next month.

RGU architecture student Lucy Fisher, 20, and a group of final year students, designed the mirrored structure which will hold around 30 people.

It is being built in celebration of this year’s Look Again Visual Art and Design Festival and the Festival of Architecture 2016.

Running from 28 April to 2 May, the Look Again festival is part of Scotland’s Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design 2016 which includes exhibitions and events across the city.

This mirrored pavilion will reflect the architectural heritage of the Castlegate through a simple yet beautiful sculptural form.

Lucy, who is currently in the third year of her course, designed the concept after winning a competition held by organisers during last year’s Look Again festival.

It is expected to take less than a week to complete and will provide an information point for the festivals as well as a venue for workshops.

Professor David McClean, head of RGU’s Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment, said: “Lucy’s design will provide a wonderful centrepiece to the Look Again and Architecture Festivals and everyone at the university is very much looking forward to seeing it once it has been constructed.

“The design competition last year was a tremendous opportunity for our students to show off their skills and vision, and it is really exciting to see architecture being celebrated across the city as part of these events.”
