Thanks Patti. Yes, I enjoy it in colour in person, but as an image I think the black and whit works better – there is too much to take in ion colour is there too.
Indeed. It is always referred to as a brutalist building, but that was never the intention of the designers, and it actually has too many curves. I think presque-brutaliste should become an official new term
Thanks, Sue. I’ve grown to like it over the years. I found a new way in on my wanders this week, next to part of the roman wall. And there was a lift đ

And do I miss travel in your country, Debbie…? I was going to go this year, but it seems impossible. Thank you for a short glimpse.

The Barbican is a very interesting area. The architecture of the buildings is a great subject for photos. I always enjoy your Barbican shots.

Yes, it’s quite obliging with a few curves to soften things when needed
