Some of the biggest names in world architecture will compete against each other for the chance to design a multi-million dollar wing of London's National Gallery.
Among the six-strong shortlist are Norman Foster, Renzo Piano and Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.
Foster designed the Great Court of the British Museum, Kuma the Scottish outpost of the V&A in Dundee and Piano the Whitney Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Also shortlisted are Farshid Moussavi Architecture, Studio Seilern Architects and Selldorf Architects who recently gave the gallery's Sainsbury Wing a facelift.
The winner will be appointed next April as part of the gallery's Project Domani which was announced in September and backed by pledges of $498.4 million with the vast majority coming from philanthropists
Michael Moritz and his wife, Harriet Heyman, and the Julia Rausing Trust.
The new wing will be home to work created after 1900. Previously the gallery, led by director Gabriele Finaldi, left 20th and 21st century art to the Tate in a gentleman's agreement ensuring the two institutions did not encroach on each other's territory.
