This gallery is a fantastic place to be. From the exterior, it appears as an industrial, featureless structure on the river, and is particularly imposing when walking across the Millenium Bridge. As soon as you are inside, you realise what a vast space the Tate Modern really is. What impresses me about the architecture is the grandeur of the features, especially the towering windows on the wall seen in the photo. Around this atrium are dotted small, modern structures of glass walls and bold colours- such a juxtaposition but semmingly natural, so much so that when i am there i can't imagine it being used for anything else. 'People watching' in this building is almost as compelling as the modern art on display...
