Description
The Barbican Estate: A 50th Anniversary Celebration This beautifully produced book marks a milestone in the history of the iconic Barbican Estate, a Grade II listed brutalist complex in London. First inhabited in 2019, the estate is a testament to the innovative design of its architects, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon. With its three towers, Cromwell, Shakespeare and Lauderdale, the estate is a landmark of the city, featuring some of London's tallest residential spaces. The book delves into the design of the individual flats, as well as the estate's status as a brutalist icon. Through interviews with residents past and present, Stefi Orazi sheds light on how life on the estate has changed over the decades. The book is complemented by newly commissioned photography by Christoffer Rudquist, showcasing the estate's unique features in detail. With original plans, maps, and newly drawn drawings, this comprehensive guide provides a unique insight into the estate's history and architecture. Featuring contributions from leading architects and design critics, including John Allan and Charles Holland, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in architecture, design, and the history of the Barbican Estate.
