Seven times more buildings of 150 metres or taller have sprung up since 2000 than were constructed in the entire 20th century. Five decades ago, the height of the tallest building completed each year globally averaged around 250 metres (55-60 storeys).

Following the opening of the Kunstsilo art gallery in Norway last week, we spotlight six examples of industrial silos that have been adaptively reused around the world. Used for the storage of materials such as grain or coal, silo structures are typically built with robust tower-like forms made from concrete or metal. However, these utilitarian buildings are also being embraced by architects as the basis for adaptive reuse projects, with many converted into unusual homes and cultural spaces.

Lacking here is a conviction that the building must be brought back, whether or not it’s good for business on Sauchiehall Street.
