The Barbican was built to house people, not only to be admired. This photograph is evidence of what that means in practice: balcony by balcony, the concrete terraces have been claimed — plants in pots lined along the ledges, flowers catching the light, a palm pressing in from below, teal railings framing someone's modest garden against the grey aggregate. Each balcony a small act of ownership, a quiet declaration that this is not an architectural monument but a place where someone comes home. The building as designed, and the building as inhabited — and in the gap between those two things, something warmer than either.
