Barbican Centre (1) Mono Concrete

My Trip to London at the end of January was motivated to visit The Barbican Area and photograph its 'Brutal Architecture'

Wikipedia states in its opening paragraph on Brutalist Architecture as

Brutalist architecture flourished from 1951 to 1975, having descended from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century.[1] Considered both an ethic and aesthetic, utilitarian designs are dictated by function over form with raw construction materials and mundane functions left exposed. Reinforced concrete is the most commonly recognized building material of Brutalist architecture but other materials such as brick, glass, steel, and rough-hewn stone may also be used.

This is an ongoing project for me (Brutalist Architecture) so watch this space for future postings.

After meeting with Friends from the camera club and having lunch I spent a good couple of hours exploring the area. This is the first of 4 posts from the Barbican Centre.
