Brick by Brick

Exploring the demolitions industry through the dismantling of the granite-faced Marischal College in Aberdeen. From November 2009.

A look at the demolitions industry through the dismantling of one of the largest granite-faced buildings in the world.

Marischal College in Aberdeen is to house the city's new council offices.

In a bid to save the historic frontage, skilled demolition workers, stonemasons and archaeologists dismantle it piece-by-piece, leaving only the outer walls.
