The new building, called Switch House, is not simply an expansion, it will completely redefine the Tate Modern complex morphology and logic.
Indeed, the Turbine Hall gigantic space will become the core of the museum, bordered on the north by the 6-story Boiler House and on the south by the new 10-story Switch House.
Therefore, the exhibition galleries layout will be completely redesigned to provide a great depiction of art from the origin of modernism to the present day across the whole world, from the established centres such as Berlin, Paris, London and New York, to emerging ones like Tokyo, São Paulo, New Delhi, Bangkok and more.
