    The sales agents speak of the Barbican estate, 'designed for people', as if that is some kind of phenomenon

      I think it is unusual. Many estates seemed to be built for reasons anything other than people and tigers communities . What I like about this estate ever since I first saw it in the 70’s is that it looks as though it was built for people to live in and not just as a warehouse for Homo sapiens.

    Gorgeous architecture, some nice ideas in the renovation but running the risk of making it look like a generic expensive hotel room. It is important not to lose that wood + concrete charm in a sea of farrow and ball white walls.

    I lived in a Penthouse in Gilbert House for a while in the 1980's and wow, what a beautiful place it was to live - over looking the fountains and the terrace of the Arts Centre/Concert Hall. the view from the roof was incredible, and the wonderful huge arched window made it such a light and airy home too.

      @@xyonysys I doubt that... the values of flats in the Barbican went down in the 80s and 90s, not up.

    People talking about colour grading. Did it not occur to you, what you see is exactly as it was intended.

    A YMCA hostel being turned into some luxury apartments for the absurdly rich and none of those participating seem too concerned about another obscene act of social cleansing. Is there any social housing included in this project?
