Exploring the demolitions industry through the dismantling, brick by brick, of one of the largest granite-faced buildings in the world, Marischal College in Aberdeen.
The college boasts the second largest granite facade in the world; formerly part of the University of Aberdeen, it is undergoing radical change to house the city’s new council offices.
