"Herzog & de Meuron at Bankside"
2000-05-12 until 2000-11-26
Tate Gallery
London, , UK

The first exhibition in Britain devoted to the work of Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss-based architects responsible for converting Bankside Power Station into Tate Modern. Herzog & de Meuron's work is celebrated through an exciting new form of exhibition. Their relationship with the building of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the original architect of Bankside Power Station, is explored through a series of exhibition points in locations throughout the building.

Starting from a base camp at the entrance of Tate Modern, which displays a large scale model of the building, visitors can embark on a journey of discovery and revelation as they are led to the different locations. Each station is conceived and designed by Herzog & de Meuron to reveal their ideas and creative processes and shows unexpected vistas and perspectives, providing insights into the hidden anatomy of the building.
