Why is Barbican so famous?
An icon of Brutalist architecture, the Barbican is one of the UK’s architectural treasures. Working with a site almost completely razed by the Blitz, the Barbican’s architects, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, seized the opportunity to propose a radical transformation of how we live in buildings and cities. The Barbican is at the heart of the City of London and is the creative heartbeat of this financial district. The centre is located in the Barbican estate, which houses over 4,000 residents.
Why did the Barbican fail?
The development was only approved, by a whisker, after years of opposition. The construction was blighted by strikes. The City even sued Chamberlin, Powell & Bon, the architects. The Barbican Centre itself went vastly over budget and suffered huge delays. The City of London Corporation is the owner, founder and principal funder of the Barbican Centre. Its contribution to the Barbican’s overall budget has reduced in recent years, and this is expected to continue.
