Adaptive Reuse of a Power station
Shown below are the pictures of St.Johns Power station. It is along the river that people used to sqat on, so the govt. decided to reuse the building as an art gallery and hang out place for family and friends. However they maintained the graffitie on the walls, made by the sqatterers.
I must say Im impressed with the way the building is now, part of the revenue generated from its use , goes for its maintainance.
