Gareth Hoskins Architects, in collaboration with Snohetta, have been named as one of six finalists vying to design the new Aberdeen City Gardens project, which will transform the existing Victorian Union Terrace Gardens to create a new landmark urban space for Aberdeen. Requirements for the design include the provision of a cultural building, new green spaces, level access and place-making.

Designs were unveiled at a public exhibition at The Academy, Belmont Street, which will run from 19 October until 2 November 2011.

Following the exhibition, interviews with the jury will be held, with the winner being announced in mid November.
