NOTES: Burland & Brundle's proposed design was based around reconstructions of ancient Roman buildings believed to have previously stood near the Trafalgar Square site. The winning design for the National Gallery extension project by Ahrends, Burton & Koralek was eventually abandoned in favour of a scheme by Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates which was constructed in 1991. The extension became known as The Sainsbury Wing and was designed to house the Gallery's Renaissance collections. The original National Gallery building was designed by William Wilkins and completed in 1838.
