Bankside Power Station
Bankside Power Station, London, UK. This building was designed by the British architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The central chimney (seen here) was kept to a height of 99 metres, so that it was lower than the dome of St Pauls Cathedral, which sits opposite the building, on the other side of the River Thames. The power station closed in 1981 and the building remained disused until it was converted into an art gallery by Swiss architect firm Herzog & de Meuron. The gallery opened as the Tate Modern on 12 May 2000. Photographed in 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Bankside Power Station in London, UK. Designed by the renowned British architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, this architectural masterpiece was constructed between 1947 and 1963. The focal point of the image is the central chimney, deliberately kept at a height of 99 meters to ensure it remained lower than St Paul's Cathedral's majestic dome across the River Thames. Once an operational power station, this historic building fell into disuse after its closure in 1981. However, its fate took a remarkable turn when Swiss architect firm Herzog & de Meuron transformed it into an extraordinary art gallery. On May 12th, 2000, this magnificent structure opened its doors as the Tate Modern – a haven for artistic expression. The photograph was taken in 1997 and beautifully captures the essence of this brick-clad marvel. Its empty interior stands as a testament to both past engineering achievements and future possibilities within modern art spaces. Today, tourists flock to witness this striking juxtaposition of technology and creativity that has become one of Britain's most beloved tourist attractions. With its rich history and stunning architecture, Bankside Power Station turned Tate Modern continues to be a symbol of structural brilliance and technological innovation. This image from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate not only its grandeur but also how it seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary artistic endeavors
