Chamberlin, Powell and Bon made a deliberate material choice at the Barbican: the Arts Centre would be clad in white mosaic tile, the residential towers in raw aggregate concrete. Two functions, two surfaces, two ways of presenting the same institution to the world. Shot looking up, both materials appear in the same frame — the fine grid of the tile giving way to the rough mass of concrete above it, a black square window cut cleanly into the upper element. The building announcing its own internal logic through its skin — two textures, two functions, one composition.
