  • First Concept Designs Released for London Centre for Music Project As Next Steps Announced
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release: 21 January 2019 FIRST CONCEPT DESIGNS RELEASED FOR LONDON CENTRE FOR MUSIC PROJECT AS NEXT STEPS ANNOUNCED Images, animation and film available for download from: https://bit.ly/2QX8SVN The Barbican, London Symphony Orchestra and Guildhall School of Music & Drama have today released the first concept designs for their project to create a world class Centre for Music in London, as part of a progress update on their plans for the proposed new building. This update follows the recent news that the City of London Corporation has backed the next phase of work by providing £2.49 million for the three partners to undertake further design development, and to progress fundraising, business modelling and capital funding plans. The Centre for Music would be a world-class venue for performance and education across all musical genres, harnessing the power of three internationally recognised cultural organisations - the Barbican, LSO and Guildhall School - to inspire a new generation with a love of music. The Centre would include a world class concert hall and superb spaces for performance, education and rehearsal. It would, above all, be a place for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience the joy of making-music first hand. The concept designs, developed by lead architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, demonstrate the potential to deliver this landmark new building on the current Museum of London site. Elizabeth Diller, Founding Partner, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, said: “We want to unlock the urban potential of the Centre for Music's site at the southern tip of the Barbican by reclaiming the roundabout for the public realm, where the car’s isolating effects are keenly felt today.

  • Barbican Estate
    Rapporteur InnovaImage not foundConcrete or type unknown 2019 Fundación DOCOMOMO Ibérico [email protected] Image not found or type unknown Barbican Estate United Kingdom Commission Silk Street 1955 London EC2Y 8DS London Completion 1975 Other denominations The Barbican Original use Current use Housing/housing ensemble Housing/housing ensemble Architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon (Geoffry Powell, Peter "Joe" Chamberlin, Christoph Bon) Concrete by reinforcement Reinforced concrete Construction method Architectural concrete Cast-in-place concrete, in-situ concrete, Precast Exposed aggregate concrete concrete, precast element, Facade cladding Structural types One-dimensional/concrete frame Description In an area of central London devastated by bombings during World War II, the architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon built a utopian urban vision in one of the most emblematic parts of the City of London, a paradigm of 1970s post-war urban planning. The heart of the complex is a large artistic and cultural center. The rest is occupied by residential buildings of different types, configurations and volumes; all this surrounds a large central void with carefully designed gardens and ponds, generating an exquisite spatial quality. The monumental scale of the building and public spaces combines perfectly with the domestic sphere, through elevated access walkways that are more like pedestrian streets than simple distribution corridors. The urban quality of the whole is remarkable and much appreciated by Londoners, contrasting sharply with other examples from the same period that have suffered a slow decline. The characteristic appearance of the concrete used for the Barbican is the result of a careful choice of sands and aggregates, and an extremely complex and precise final treatment, in which the craftsmen first exposed the aggregate and then manually brushed the surface to obtain the desired shine and color.

  • BA Response to Barbican and Golden Lane Area Strategy
    Response from Barbican Association to Barbican and Golden Lane Area Strategy SUMMARY We welcome the intention to improve the area around the Barbican and Golden Lane estates. We appreciate the emphasis on maintaining the tranquillity and residential amenity of the Barbican Estate. Residents accept that the area is likely to get busier. What we are keen to preserve is the tranquillity that respondents of all types recognise in the area. For residents what matters in particular (and which has existed since the estate was built) is quietness from the middle evening on into the night and during most of the weekend. We understand the desire of the cultural institutions for more visibility and accessibility and support that where it will not interfere with residential amenity. Our detailed responses to the many proposals in this strategy are outlined in this document. We highlight three in particular and make four further general points. 1 We strongly support the creation of a way finding and signage review and strategy and would give it the highest priority. Done well and sensitively, a way finding strategy that includes the wider area (including stations) and the cultural institutions themselves could go a considerable way to solving some of the other problems at considerably less cost. 2 We strongly oppose the insertion of an additional bridge across the lake. This would ruin one of the iconic vistas of the Barbican estate and would damage the tranquillity that is appreciated by residents and visitors alike. It would also radically change the nature of the estate, and not protect residential amenity.
