Aberdeenshire Council writes:
This was an unprecedented season for the scheme which saw the awards change to an almost completely ‘virtual’ format. But that did not dilute the quality of the submissions. The judging panel were presented with a range of exciting projects which stimulated thought provoking discussion and really demonstrated the very best in architecture and landscape design across Aberdeenshire….
A huge congratulations to all the 2020 finalists and award-winning projects….
