Context Poster


Tate Modern is part of a chain with the Tate collection. I chose this museum for adaptive re-use, because the main reason they chose this location is because they used the original Backside Power building to hold their museum. They kept as much of the old building as they could, but added a glass penthouse to show the modern side of the museum. Information of Tate Modern was easily accessible and was directly on the main website. This was surprising to me, because while researching other buildings I found that people did not explain why and how they chose to use adaptive re-use. Tate was excited about their adaptive re-use building and they made it easy for people to know why.
