Brief Overview:  The Barbican Centre is a performing arts centre- the largest of it's kind in Europe.  It was built as the City's gift to the nation and formerly opened by Queen Elizabeth II.  It is situated in an area that was badly bombed during World War II, and is surrounded by the Barbican Estate housing complex.  Typically with Brutalism the design divides opinion- and in 2003 it was voted Britain's ugliest building.  As well as hosting a variety of music concerts, theatre productions, film screenings and art exhibitions The Barbican Centre is also home to the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra and is the London base of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

My unique and captivating prints showcase the raw, unadorned beauty of Brutalist architecture in all its glory. Whether you're a fan of architecture, design, or simply love the bold and striking aesthetic of Brutalism, these prints are the perfect addition to your collection. It's a great way to add a touch of sophistication and style to your home or office and is sure to be a conversation starter among friends and visitors alike.
