Abstract
The transformations of the Battersea Power Station impose a reflection on the modification of the London industrial landscape of the twentieth century. The article is focused not only on the preservation /transformation of the power station's ruins, but also on the iconic value of the building and the importance of the symbol which it represents in the London landscape, as a case study of architecture related to industrial architectures.
