Enterprising young designers have unveiled their own 3D models of shop windows which they hope will pull in Granite City shoppers.

A group of 200 primary school pupils were challenged to design shop fronts which would attract a customer base in Aberdeen.

The models, which ranged from designs for fashion houses to cafes, were displayed at the Tivoli Theatre on Guild Street yesterday.

Education convener Angela Taylor said: “This was a great opportunity to engage with young people to raise awareness of the built environment and to think about how design affects our daily lives in urban areas.”

The project, set up by Aberdeen City Heritage Trust, formed part of the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design and was launched to encourage children and young people to understand design concepts.

Classes from Ferryhill, Hanover Street, Skene Square, Sunnybank and Walker Road schools have worked on the project since January.

Aberdeen City Heritage Trust chairman Barney Crockett said: “Our young pupils have gone above and beyond in their ambitions and have demonstrated a real understanding of how architecture and design play a fundamental role in establishing a city’s identity.”

An exhibition of the pupils’ work is on display at Aberdeen Arts and Theatre Centre on King Street until Friday.
