about
Battersea Power Station
Photography Project
In 2013 Dennis Gilbert and his colleagues at VIEW Pictures organised an open-air architectural photography exhibition in the grounds of the disused power station as part of the London Open House Architecture Festival. Battersea Power Station opened its doors for this one-off occasion allowing the public to see the much loved structure in its dilapidated state prior to redevelopment. Approximately 40,000 people passed through the building over the weekend - making it one of the most popular openings in the history of London Open House
The photography of the site began in summer 2014 when work started on the regeneration of the grade 2 listed building. Battersea quickly became the largest construction site in Europe.
Over the next six years Dennis collaborated with fellow photographers Anthony Coleman and Kilian O'Sullivan to make frequent visits to the Power Station and its surroundings. The team were given virtually unlimited access to document the redevelopment of this truly superlative project - one of the World's largest brick buildings, probably the World’s largest retrofit and a true London icon.
Sadly Dennis passed away in June 2021.
