A swanky addition to the area, and the first English project of the eminent architect Zaha Hadid, in 2006-10. Academies are a hybrid - state-maintained but funded largely by other sources - and controversial because of those other funding sources and because they are outside local authority control. Update: in October 2011 this building won the most prestigious architectural award, the Royal Institute of British Architects' Stirling Prize. From the air: Image
