Industrial Building Reuse: Preserving Spatial Hierarchy

Design architecture by transforming an existing industrial building into a contemporary cultural institution while preserving historical materials, spatial hierarchy, and structural identity inspired by Herzog & de Meuron. A former power station retained with its chimney and great hall intact, new galleries inserted as clean volumes within the existing shell, original steel trusses and soot-marked brick left untouched, contemporary glazing added only where the old fabric was already lost, flat overcast light, eye-level composition, 24mm lens, ultra photorealistic, 8K
