In pictures: UK's top 10 new buildings

1 of 10 The gherkin-shaped Swiss-Re Tower in London is among the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment's top 10 list of UK architectural highlights for 2002/2003

2 of 10 The Abode Housing Project in Harlow, Essex, already hailed by deputy PM John Prescott for its styling and environmental sustainability, was among the "exciting contemporary" projects named

3 of 10 Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts. Cabe says this is unlike most new spaces, which remain "mediocre" and "lowest risk, lowest cost"

4 of 10 The Cabe nod is the latest in a line of accolades for Sheffield's Winter Garden, "an outdoor space inside"

5 of 10 Manchester's Imperial War Museum North was applauded by Cabe for its "brooding" style

6 of 10 The £110m City of Manchester Stadium was another "success story" for a city almost "greedy" in the amount of regeneration it has undergone, said Cabe

7 of 10 Brixton's Jubilee School was praised as an example of "contemporary best practice". The school was also a finalist in the Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award

8 of 10 The Maritime Museum in Falmouth, another finalist in the Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award, also got a mention

9 of 10 Cabe also liked the Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge University, which was designed with energy efficiency, community needs and the study of maths in mind
