Barbican Centre (Pocket Photo Books)

More than 100 photographs by Harry Cory Wright present the dramatic spaces and rich textures of the Barbican Centre, one of the most radical and visionary post-war buildings in Britain. A new title in the Pocket Photo Books series of immersive visual guides to the experience of place, this compact album presents the dramatic spaces, rich textures and carefully selected materials of the Barbican Centre, one of the world’s leading international arts venues. From the flowing, multi-level space of the foyer and the calm wooden-panelled concert hall to the surprising intimacy of the theatre and the soaring jungle of the conservatory, the Barbican Centre offers a remarkable variety of experiences within a single building. This book reveals their full range, while the fascinating introduction by Sir Nicholas Kenyon provides personal insights into this thriving cultural hub.
