5. Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavík, Iceland
Since 2011, the first ever purpose-built concert hall in Reykjavík has housed the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and the offices of The Icelandic Opera. The construction was partially abandoned when the financial crisis took hold, before the Icelandic government agreed to bail out the half-built concert hall. For many years it was Iceland's only construction project. Picture: Thinkstock
