Shot from directly below the corner where two wings of the Barbican's residential terraces converge, the building resolves into something closer to diagram than architecture: two ranks of stacked concrete balconies meeting at a central point overhead, yellow-green railings marking each level, flowers pressing in at the edges. The rough concrete at the corner below carries the marks of years of rain — streaks running down the aggregate, the building quietly recording its own weather. From this angle the Barbican is simultaneously a geometric exercise and a lived thing: precise and weathered, planned and overtaken.
