The Gasometer

Manfred Wehdorn was one of the four architects that reinvented the use of the gasometers in Vienna. The amazing redevelopment finished in 2001 is of mixed use, with a school, cinema and shopping mall etc apart from the usual office and accommodation uses. I understand that the London gasometers are not as beautiful, but it is such an exciting space, so please London, can we do the same! 

The original brickwork of the buildings have been conserved
