这些建筑师在1995年的一次国际比赛中从几个著名的竞争者中选出.泰特画廊认识到了发电站的潜力，并感受到了这对二人的最小外部改造与他们自己对博物馆的看法一致。最初的建筑是20世纪40年代末由Giles Gilbert Scott设计的，在使用了30年之后就退役了。车站的烟囱位于泰晤士河对面的圣保罗大教堂，是教堂穹顶的对立面。

The architects were selected from among several well-known contenders in an international competition in 1995. The Tate Gallery recognized the potential of the power station and felt the duo's minimal exterior alterations aligned with their own vision for the museum. The original building was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in the late 1940s and was decommissioned after just three decades of use. Situated across the Thames from St. Paul's Cathedral, the station's chimney stands as a counterpoint to the cathedral's dome.

Herzog & de Meuron chose to enhance the urban character of the building without detracting significantly from its form, allowing it to remain an experiential and visual piece in itself. The most apparent exterior alteration is the light beam set atop its roof, a horizontal contrast to the towering chimney. The light beam's minimal geometry and translucent glass clearly differentiate it from the dark masonry and detailed brickwork of the original facade. The transition between old and new is not always obvious, however. Herzog & de Meuron referenced the industrial character of Scott’s design in each detail, avoiding jarring interventions which might distract from the works of art. The heavy stair rails, cast iron grills, and unfinished wood floors harmonize with the original aesthetic.

通过打开前发电站周围的景观，建筑师们试图对一座看似完整的建筑做出一种自然的处理方法。花园介于博物馆和周围的城市结构之间，提供了四面八方的通道。正面在地面用乐队刺穿，指示入口处，并邀请公众进入。赫尔佐格

By opening the landscape around the former power station, the architects sought to make a natural approach to a seemingly monolithic building. The gardens mediate between the museum and surrounding urban fabric, providing access from all four directions. The facade is punctured in bands at ground level, indicating the entrances and inviting the public inside. Herzog & de Meuron envisioned the grand space of the turbine hall as a public plaza, allowing passage through or a place to congregate.

涡轮大厅的大部分经验都是关于运动的。一个平台在地面横穿，记录下坡道的下降，并提供头顶画廊的景观。这种能量被大厅的巨大规模所平衡，尽管游客源源不断，但它还是给人一种宁静。最初是为容纳大型发电机而设计的，它延伸了整个建筑的长度和高度，为泰特现代提供了独特的空间质量。艺术家OlafurEliasson在他2003年的安装“天气项目”中利用了这一点。

Much of the experience of the turbine hall is one of movement. A platform crosses at ground level, registering the descent of the ramp beneath it and providing views of the galleries overhead. This energy is balanced by the hall's monumental scale, which imparts a stillness despite the flow of visitors. Originally designed to house massive generators, it extends the entire length and height of the building, providing a quality of space unique to The Tate Modern. The artist Olafur Eliasson took advantage of this in his 2003 installation The Weather Project.

为了适应广泛的艺术，赫尔佐格

In order to accommodate a broad range of art, Herzog & de Meuron replaced much of the power station's interior with galleries of differing sizes. They share an understated aesthetic, but range in height from five to twelve meters, illuminated by a variety of natural and artificial lighting. The power station's original cathedral windows span floor to ceiling in some galleries, echoed in rhythm and proportion by skylights overhead. The light beam's layers of translucent glass were specifically designed to filter daylight and artificially replicate its qualities at night.

The former plant’s three massive oil tanks opened in 2012 as another type of gallery unique to the museum. An extension designed by Herzog & de Meuron is underway, expected to open in 2016. It will offer additional display space as well as public areas for learning and making.
