"Battersea Power Station calls in administrators How many times has this happened now since the place closed? Why they couldn't have turned it into come sort of engineering museam leaving part of the workings intact god alone knows. It would certainly have been better than gutting it and allowing the weather in to destroy the structure. I imagine part of it will simply collapse one day and the whole thing will have to be demolished. Even the possibly now aborted scheme required the chimneys to be dismantled and rebuilt, as they're no longer structurally sound. And at least one wall has long gone, so there won't be much that's authentic if/when it ever gets re-used as a shell housing something entirely unlike a power station. Given the lack of authenticity, I wonder why a pastiche of the old power station needs to be part of any new development? After all, we already have one old coal power station preserved as an art gallery in the form of Tate Modern -- just how many does London need? |
