The Barbican's designers intended for nature to coexist with the concrete — but the gardens have long since exceeded those intentions. What grows here now is almost subtropical: climbing plants spilling over concrete edges, a palm asserting itself in the lower frame, dense foliage pressing through every gap the structure offers. The concrete grid provides the geometry; the plants provide everything else. Shot face-on, the two forces are in visible negotiation — the rigid horizontal slabs holding their lines while the greenery works through, under, and over every opening it can find. The Barbican as designed, and the Barbican as it has become.
