One of Six for Aberdeen’s City Garden
The team of OLIN, Diller Scofidio and Renfro and Keppie Design is one of six finalists for Aberdeen’s City Garden international competition in Aberdeen, Scotland. The six finalists have been selected to go on to the second stage of the competition after a unanimous vote by the jury panel. Over 55 submissions were received from across the world.
The City Garden Project will radically transform the central location, raising the nineteenth-century Union Terrace Gardens and covering the Denburn dual carriageway and railway line. As part of the second stage of the competition, the shortlisted teams will be issued with a comprehensive brief and asked to produce a concept design. Concept design submissions will be made in September, following a concentrated eight-week design program for the teams. This will be followed by a public exhibition of the six shortlisted designs at the end of September in Aberdeen.
