Description
RIBA Adviser for the competition Maggie Mullan said "This is a unique opportunity to create a singular landscape for this singular building, responding to the changing physical, social and cultural context and enhancing the visitor experience of the Imperial War Museum North."

The challenge is to make the outside areas of the museum as striking, memorable and rewarding as the building and its displays already are.
