The Barbican rose from rubble — literally. Chamberlin, Powell and Bon were handed a 35-acre bombed-out site in the City of London and asked to build a neighborhood. What they built was more ambitious: a complete urban world of towers, terraces, and maisonettes connected by elevated walkways, lakes, and gardens, all in raw concrete that was, in 1965, the material of the future. Shot close, that ambition compresses into texture and geometry — the board-marked concrete catching light the way stone does, the building aging into itself rather than away from itself.
