CACA YES!!!

MINISTERS GIVE GREEN LIGHT TO ARTS CENTRE FOR THE NORTH
Plans for a major new centre for the contemporary arts, the first of its kind in the North of Scotland, were today approved by the Scottish Government. The £12.5 million development is expected to be completed by 2010 and provide a much-needed boost to this part of Scotland's cultural provision.

Architects Brisac Gonzalez, the designers of the award-winning Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, are delighted after receiving the green light for their first Scottish development. The plans have been praised by Architecture and Design Scotland for both the unique design and the collaborative approach taken by Peacock Visual Arts, the project leader, and by Aberdeen City Council. The innovative design places the arts centre right in the heart of the city by incorporating the development into a sunken Victorian garden and has been described as 'visionary' and 'iconic'.
