Love them or loathe them, the Barbican, with its brutalist style and endless walkways, and Golden Lane, with its jolly colours and Corbusian influences, are visionary examples of urban residential architecture. In this talk, Elain Harwood, Senior Architectural Advisor for English Heritage, discusses these famous buildings, expounding their histories and the history of their architects: Chamberlin Powell and Bon.
