Is Tate Modern Building A Failure?

Architect Will Alsop says that Tate Modern has been hugely overhyped, and that it should never have been located in a former power station. “I don’t think [Tate Modern] is a great building. It casts a very large shadow over the river edge. They should have pulled the existing building down. When I go around I feel I’m being guided in the same way I might be guided round a shopping centre.”
