The Barbican Centre in the City of London is the largest
multi-disciplinary arts centre in Europe. Designed by Chamberlin,
Powell & Bon as part of the Barbican Estate and to provide
homes for both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal
Shakespeare Company, the building is internationally renowned not
only as an example of radical, visionary architecture in the
Modernist tradition, but also for its outstanding programme of more
than 2,000 cultural events each year: plays, concerts, films,
exhibitions and more. A new title in the Pocket Photo Books series
of immersive visual guides to the experience of place, this compact
album of more than one hundred photographs by Harry Cory Wright
presents the dramatic spaces, rich textures and carefully selected
materials of the Barbican Centre in all their detail. From the
flowing, multi-level space of the foyer and the calm
wooden-panelled concert hall to the surprising intimacy of the
theatre and the soaring jungle of the conservatory, the Barbican
Centre offers the visitor an extraordinary variety of experiences
within a single building. This book captures their full range,
providing exceptional insights into one of the most significant and
exciting modern buildings in Britain and a thriving cultural hub in
the heart of London.
