Live From The What?!

The Powerhouse Museum is a (very good) museum in Sydney, built inside the shell of an old power station. The Distillery is a new block of flats* built around an old distillery. The Quarry, similarly.

What would it take for an architect not to name his new creation after the old building's original purpose? Are we going to see The Abbatoir in coming years? The Brothel, perhaps?

* Apartment building.

Or as my mother would say, "flock of bats".
