![StreetJournal-8138.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514365262/bbof0hboujgzntcilweg.jpg) The Barbican is one of my favourite areas of London. It was a experimental project both socially and culturally, not to mention the striking, brutalist architecture that makes up the area. The residential towers stand ominously looming over you and youβre demanded to take notice and cower in their shadow. --- <table> <tr> <td>Camera</td><td>Canon 400D</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Lens</td><td>EF-S 18-55mm Ζ/3.5-5.6</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Settings</td><td>Ζ/3.5 18mm 1/800 ISO1600</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Location</td><td>The Barbican, London</td> </tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td><center>All photography shown is my own work.</center></td> </tr> </table> --- ### Thanks for stopping by.

Brutalist architecture is equal parts fascinating and horrifying. I attended Ball State University in Indiana, and the [library there](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracken_Library) was constructed in the Brutalist style. It's very strange, because the exterior of the building seems quite cold and reserved, just this massive clump of orange rectangles seemingly plopped down haphazardly like child's blocks, with glass windows taking up whole sides of the building. Then you go inside, and it's a total contrast: warm, inviting, and easy to get lost in for hours. I never studied architecture, but there's something of an amateur fascination within me about the way buildings are designed practically, functionally, and artistically. This photo hits the spot, and now I want to know what the insides look like. :)

I totally agree and that library looks intriguing. While I have never seen the inside of the tower from the photo (as they are residential) they are part of a <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=barbican&safe=off&client=safari&hl=en-gb&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLQz9U3yDUrNFPiBLEMU0pyTbQkQ_JLizKLSxxLSooSk0sy8_OCM1NSyxMriwGGF8hbMgAAAA&prmd=minv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj02cSu6qrYAhWD2KQKHc0YBg8Q_AUIEigC&biw=414&bih=622">much larger development</a> including an arts centre. The estate is huge and follows the same style but the <a href="https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2014/09/The_Barbican_14.jpg">interior</a> is home to everything from a cinema to exhibitions and music venues. I'm the same as you in terms of fascination. Such a bold statement and brave in its intent and I totally admire that. Have you ever been to London?

I haven't, alas. Only been out of the country once, and that was a brief jaunt into Canada. I'd love to visit the UK one day though...just a matter of saving money and getting that passport together. :)

Wow, this is interesting. I don't know much about this type of architecture except that there are some examples of it here in NYC, like the Guggenheim, and while this is not as poetic a structure it is still very compelling. Nice post!

I love NYC but unfortunately missed out on seeing the Guggenheim when I went. A good excuse to go back!
