Imperial War Museum for the
North, Manchester
The Imperial War Museum is conceived as
a landscape rising from the site edges juxtaposed with
an abstracted ensemble of “dry dock and wharf building’
adjacent to the Manchester Ship Canal. The ensemble reflects
the immense power of man and technology this century resulting
in an unprecedented scale of war..The museum provides
8000 sq.m of space for permanent and changing exhibition,
educational, retail and café facilities.
