Re-making Tate

I fall under the category of loving Tate modern. But like any British museum, it has too much art and not enough room. And with recent changes to big museums in Barcelona, New York etc.. Tate's smoke stack appeal (while wonderful) perhaps needs a change, and 80's brick is not a recent reflection of what the public thinks should house modern art. Enter its new look. Thankfully, this glass block structure will be out the back so the view of the smokestack to St. Pauls' will not be forcefully destroyed. The design has just been approved, I'm sure it will be 2020 before it sees realization........ (Note - I do like it - I just resist change)

I like the recessitated Tate. I haven't seen pictures of it before. I am off to Google to read more about it. Thanks for piquing my interest.
