To redevelop the derelict Salford docks in Manchester, UK, between 1990 and 1991 a competition was launched and architects James Stirling Michael Wilford Associates was selected.
After the death of James Stirling in June 1992 Michael Wilford continued the project.
The project was completed in 2000 at a cost of £106 million.
Imperial War Museum North is a museum in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England.
One of five branches of the Imperial War Museum, it explores the impact of modern conflicts on people and society.
The museum occupies a site overlooking the Manchester Ship Canal on Trafford Wharf Road, Trafford Park.
The area is now home to the Lowry cultural centre and the MediaCityUK development, which stand opposite the museum at Salford Quays.
The museum building was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and opened in July 2002, receiving 470,000 visitors in its first year of opening.
It was recognised with awards or prize nominations for its architecture and is a prime example of Deconstructivist architecture.
