Dive into a world where the ghosts of heavy industry collide with the wild fantasy of modern architecture. This is no ordinary walk by the water.

From Frank Gehry's astonishing deconstructivist towers to William Alsop's hallucinatory glass facades – you will discover the hidden details, the political gambles, and the socioeconomic tectonic shifts that transformed a working-class cemetery into a masterpiece for the bourgeoisie.
