Switch House - Tate Modern, London UK

If you love concrete, then Tate Modern’s new Switch House is a cathedral to the material. It takes several visits to take in the enormity of the curves, the height of each level and the shear beauty of this wonderful raw material.
I’m sure Le Corbusier would be smiling at this one, it ticks all the boxes. Why paint or render a surface that looks after itself?
I haven’t photographed the outside skin yet, that honours the brick, a net or geometry and shadows.
