Influenced by others
A few months back, I was reading Andrew Eberlin’s post, Barbican, which inspired me to think about how I might shoot this attractive location the next time I pass through it. The Barbican is an icon of brutalism, built on a site razed during the Blitz. Built during the 1960s and 1970s, it is now a Grade II listed building and a notable example of British brutalist architecture.
The Barbican is an excellent example of the optimism and ambition of post-war architecture. It is the largest multi-arts and conference venue in Europe, home to the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. The Centre includes a concert hall, two theatres, a cinema, an art gallery, and several meeting rooms. It also has a library, a conservatory and several areas for dining and drinking.
Hopefully, these photographs showcase elements of the beauty within this brilliant example of brutalist architecture.
