It is classified under the architectural genre of brutalist architecture. These are architectural styles that began to be seen in the 1950s and refer to a group of rough buildings built using concrete, brick and glass. It was first proposed in Britain, which was in a hurry to rebuild after the war, and has come to be used all over the world.
Although the term 'brutal' is used, there is also a lot of delicately thought-out architecture, and the Barbican Centre here is beautiful in every angle.
The Barbican Centre is beautiful in every way: the rough materials, the design details, the lighting, the steelwork - look carefully.
The architecture is composed of multiple uses and it is not enough to get bored walking around the building.
