The theme used throughout the masters' work was centred on conservation and adaptive reuse. I have developed an interest in existing buildings, leading to the work done throughout both years within Aberdeen's existing fabric. The way existing spaces and buildings are used more sustainably, giving an important use, upgrading them to modern standards. Exposing and retaining the existing character of the warehouses located at the Aberdeen harbour was the main focus of the individual project, while my thesis included the adaptation of the existing back lands of the harbour incorporating new functions.
