Overview

  • Dive into a world where the ghosts of heavy industry collide with the wild fantasy of modern architecture. This is no ordinary walk by the water. We explore how a dying, 165-hectare industrial wasteland of coal, steel, and sweat was radically transformed into a playground for the boldest architects in the world. From Frank Gehry's astonishing deconstructivist towers to William Alsop's hallucinatory glass facades – you will discover the hidden details, the political gambles, and the socioeconomic tectonic shifts that transformed a working-class cemetery into a masterpiece for the bourgeoisie.
