The Barbican embodies a vision of public generosity that is becoming vanishingly rare. – Olivia Laing 2024 New Edition published by Hoxton Mini Press. Including newly photographed Barbican Residents' apartments. The Barbican is a radical model of city living and a symbol of post-war optimism. Today, it’s home to around 4,000 people – half the population of the City of London, the ancient heart of the capital where the building resides. But while its towers and walkways are recognisable to many, few are familiar with what lies inside. This book is a rare chance to peer beyond its concrete boundaries into the homes and lives of a handful of residents. Concept and photography by Anton Rodriguez.
