Landmark projects by well-known architects, such as Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners' Eden Project in Cornwall, Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester and Foster and Partners' tower at 30 St Mary Axe in London, feature alongside the work of younger, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital.
