The art museum would only occupy the structure on top of the silo; the cavernous interior of the silo itself would be left untouched.

Something like the Silophone project (http://www.silophone.net/)gives the city a cultural boost that can't be measured in condo dollars. These are heritage structures that need to be preserved.

These buildings once were owned by the rich but it is the labourers and the memories of their lives moving through them that made the structure live. I find it only respectful for these buildings to be transformed into something that belongs to the public domain once their manufacturing life has come to an end.

But I'll always think it's not a good idea to transform the silo 5 into condo. Maybe it's just me, but I feel this big structure should be used by everyone, and not only some rich people.. anyway Great!

If they ever open this museum, their first exposition should be about this place. So much great photos from there.. That would be a shame to convert the Silo 5 into condos!!
