That the Parliament welcomes the news that Tarlair Pool Pavilion in MacDuff has made the shortlist in the Andrew Doolan Best Building in Scotland Award, which is run by The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) and is the country's foremost architecture accolade; understands that, when first built in the 1930s, Tarlair Outdoor Pool was one of the first such art deco structures to be built and one of the largest outdoor pools in Scotland; acknowledges that the judges said Studio Octopi's restoration of the Tea Pavilion was "a magical project, a phenomenal client, a fantastic collaboration" and demonstrated how "sensitive design" can revive a historic site while embracing contemporary use, and wishes Studio Octopi success in the competition.
