| Description |
|
   Jacques Herzog
describes the building form as, "...
something between a very rational form
and a very irrational form, a
pyramidal shape. It’s to do with the
geometries of the land parcel, but
also angles that will lead people into
the galleries. .... Its twisting,
pyramid-like shape will be a memorable
addition to London’s skyline and will
offer 60% extra space for visitors
to explore. ...
 ... The façade
uses brick to match the surface of the
existing museum, while creating
something radically new – a perforated
brick lattice through which the
interior lights glow in the evening.
....
 .... From
The Tanks on Level 0 you can go all
the way up to Level 10 and enjoy the
spectacular new roof terrace with
360-degree views of the river Thames,
St Paul’s Cathedral and the
dramatic London skyline.
....
 - Take a look inside. - The Tanks ... The new
building is ten-storeys on top of The
Tanks – the world’s first gallery
spaces dedicated to live art, film and
installations ....
      "The interior of
the new building features raw concrete
folded into dramatic angles and will
be a stunning new building in which
to experience art."
