Repurposing Power Stations for Art and Business

"<lora:Strong Expression:0.3> The most obvious obstacles to keeping them are their scale and their shape. They’re too big to make into art galleries in the way that Tate Modern was made out of Bankside Power Station. Designed for one highly defined purpose, they’re not easy to adapt. But, as Croft points out, ways have been found. In Soweto, in South Africa, old cooling towers have become bungee jumping venues, their exteriors painted with vivid murals. The Inota music and arts festival in Hungary takes place among the towers and turbine halls of an old power station. They come with quantities of land around them that could profitably be developed for homes and business. Imagine how exceptional such places could be if the towers were kept in place."
