Battersea Power Station: The Architectural Rebirth of a Romantic Ruin describes architectural practice Wilkinson Eyre’s 12-year journey to transform one of the UK’s most recognisable landmarks from a 20th century industrial relic to the sustainable heart of a thriving new London district.

The regeneration of Battersea Power Station is one the most significant developments to happen in the UK this century, setting a precedent for transformation, reuse and the treatment of our industrial heritage.

Delving deep into the design and construction process, the book includes rarely seen site photos and technical documentation which underline the extent to which the existing building had decayed, and the significant and detailed work involved in bringing it back to life.
