Aberdeen's buildings will be celebrated this week in a new exhibition.

The Art of the Building Warrant will showcase eight of the most recognisable landmarks including Tivoli Theatre, the Aberdeen University's students' union and the Northern Hotel.

The display will have building warrant plans from Aberdeen's archive and will run from Friday until November 25 at 17 on Belmont Street.

Aberdeen City Council's culture spokesperson Marie Boulton said: "The heritage of Aberdeen is a great influence on the future plans for the city and this promises to be a wonderful exhibition which will really capture the imagination.

"Many of the plans on display will be instantly recognisable but there are others that will give an intriguing glimpse at parts of the city which are far less obvious and buildings which have not survived over time."

He added: "In addition to being an important record of Aberdeen's history, the building warrants are works of art in their own right - showcasing the talent of local and national architect.

"The Tivoli, for example, was designed by two leading theatrical architects, CJ Phipps and Frank Matcham."

The exhibition includes plans for lost buildings such as the former police offices on Lodge Walk, and transformed buildings such as the Aberdeen Science Centre, which was originally constructed as a public baths.
