Abstract
At the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, Wales, Wilkinson Eyre Architects has united old and new structures, as well as maritime and industrial history. Jeremy Melvin describes the curatorial drive behind the museum's construction, and also how the architects have deftly drawn on their own experience of projects that have some association with industry and science.
