Tate revises £215m extension plan
Tate Modern has revised plans for its £215m extension - abandoning its original idea of a glass ziggurat.
The series of glass-covered cubes proposed for the world-famous gallery have been replaced with a pyramid-like structure clad in perforated brick.
The extension will rise from oil tanks in the former power station in central London. The tanks themselves will be used as spaces for art.
The new building is due to be completed in 2012.
