The architecture developed by Herzog & de Meuron for Tate Modern in London is largely focused on puncturing levels and creating interesting connections through space. The approach to the walls and ceiling of the ground floor shop forms a small essay in this approach, one I think is daring, and beautiful.
Glass walls fan out as they rise up to meet the ceiling, and you are consciously aware of the ‘hidden’ lighting betraying their slitted homes. Stunning, whilst understated. I love the fact that this degree of detail was reserved for one of the smaller spaces in the building, nice work.
