Architects often produce their finest work when confronted with the challenge of designing for a difficult site.

Our latest free exhibition explores remarkable feats of architectural achievement in the face of tricky terrain, awkward urban plots, challenging remodels, and more.

It delves into over twenty complex, unusual, and dynamic buildings across the UK from the 1900s to today.

The exhibition includes work from history’s most renowned architects, Neave Brown, Grimshaw Architects, and Lord Norman Foster, as well as contemporary practices of Tonkin Liu, Knox Bhavan, and Carmody Groarke. It highlights the pioneering spirit at the heart of great architecture.

Through original drawings, photography, models, and plans it offers an eye-opening look at how resilient and creative practitioners are in realizing the inconceivable against the odds.
