Tate Modern

Tate Modern - a strikingly beautiful and unusual building with a panoramic viewing gallery on the 10th floor.

 

A blue filter was used here to bring out the detail in the clouds.

 

Our photo group went to London for a day of pure B&W image taking.

 

Whilst there, we were made aware of a huge row over privacy.

 

To the south of the Tate, there are some luxury high rise apartments with full height glass external walls, which cost between £4.5 - 6.5million each. However, the tenth floor viewing gallery at the Tate allows people to see directly into these luxury apartments.

 

There is a huge campaign for action to be taken to preserve the privacy of the owners of the luxury apartments.

 

The Tate design complies with Planning requirements for the "overlooking" aspect between new and existing buildings.

 

The dispute remains unresolved.

Do you think the architect left plans for the builders with a crease in them and that's how the builders built it?
