Aberdeen’s post-oil decline needs sustainable solutions. This mycelium-based industrial hub combines eco-friendly production, wetland restoration, and public spaces (factory, exhibition, library). Serves workers, researchers, artists, and tourists, using local waste and the River Dee. Near Victoria Bridge, it leverages existing infrastructure for green growth.

Situated near the Victoria Bridge over the River Dee, the site holds great potential to benefit both Torry and Aberdeen City Centre. Formerly home to an industrial facility, it is now an underutilised vacant lot.
