Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's wonderously designed Bankside Power Station
generated electricity for London between 1952 and 1981. It wasn't until
1994 that the conversion of Bankside into Tate Modern first began. These
pages chart some of the progress of 'Power into Art' as the project
continues to expand...
