Barbican, 1969

Following the destruction to this area of London during World War II, this development scheme was an enormous undertaking that aimed to bring life back to the city by providing housing, shops and cultural amenities to  about 7,000 people.



I find that area of London very unappealing, mostly highrise office towers, but the history of the Barbican Estate is interesting.
