	Barbican - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barbican (from mediæval Latin barbecana) - a fortified outpost or gateway, such as an outer defence to a city or castle and any tower situated over a gate or bridge which was used for defence purposes.
		Usually barbicans were situated outside the main line of defences and connected to the city walls with a walled road called the neck.
		The Barbican is also the name of the historic harbour area in Plymouth, England.

	Barbican Estate, City of London 1959 plans for flats and apartments
		But most of the long blocks in the south Barbican were to be raised on columns, so that the enclosures would not be oppressive.
		In the south Barbican, the most striking difference on the plans is that the bridge across the lake was to run diagonally to Fore Street with no "Gilbert House" above it.
		The Barbican estate, as eventually built, employed concrete in a much more monumental way than was envisaged in the comparatively delicate designs in the 1959 Report.

		To celebrate the Barbican's 20th birthday, Barbican Art is curating a major free exhibition exploring the evolution and design of the Barbican Estate.

		It focusses on various levels of the development of the Barbican Estate from Corporation plans to create a modern city infrastructure out of the ruins of a Victorian city to detailed considerations like the careful research and development of the apartments' fitted kitchens.

		The Barbican is a large estate of well-designed and built apartments on the north-west edge of the City of London, the capital's financial district.
		A 'barbican' is a gate, and at one time the City of London was enclosed by a wall, only accessible through a small number of gates, at which taxes were collected.
		It also encloses the Barbican Arts Centre, one of the busiest cultural venues in Britain, and a greenhouse second in size only to that at Kew Gardens, in the West of London.

		We began by discussing the high rise in the Barbican's status as an architectural icon of the sixties and as a sure-fire financial investment ever since long leases first made an appearance.
		His long-term interest in the estate, both professionally and personally, painted a very different picture from that which I imagine many of us see when we look at what is all around us.
		David thought the estate was well managed, a view not distorted, he assured me, by his passion for the place.

	Find a Property - Barbican Listed
		The Barbican Village, which has shops, restaurants, sports facilities and clubs, does much to relieve the feeling that this is an isolated and anonymous development and residents insist that the estate is well managed and possesses a good community spirit.
		The listing of the Barbican comes at a time when city living has become popular again and modernist tower blocks, long scorned as alienating and brutalist, are being revalued.
		They would, no doubt, jump at the chance to bunk down at the Barbican but the price of entry is high: at the very least £200,000 and heading towards a million for some of the posher penthouse apartments.

		Milton Court was conceived as the very first building of the Barbican Estate.
		Architecturally the building forms a historic link between 1950s design of the Golden Lane Estate and the more rough, brutalist architecture of the Barbican Estate, to which it is linked via a footbridge.
		The interplay between openings and closures is particularly interesting, especially the fact that the top two floors are detached from the rest of the building via an open space.

		The Barbican Estate is one of the most berated and beloved architectural projects in London.
		Taking over 20 years to complete from its inception in 1963, it was widely condemned in the 1980s for its acreage of relentless concrete and lack of clear entrances.
		The final scheme involved the construction of the highest apartments in Europe, with elements derived from the elegant squares of Georgian London, contemporary architects like Le Corbusier and Scharoun, and the Baroque architecture and gardens of Italy.

	CIOB International News Service - Crossrail: City of London will fight threats to integrity of its buildings and markets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		This scheme is taken up by the Barbican Association which contends that the crossover is not operationally necessary for Crossrail, neither is it correctly located, nor can it be constructed safely and without undue settlement.
		From the standpoint of the association, representing the interests of some 2,000 flat holders, that would in their view remove the need for the proposed worksite bordering the Barbican Estate.
		In these objections the Barbican Association is joined by the City Corporation, concerned not only about residential accommodation but the effect that construction of the rail crossover would have on the Barbican Concert Hall, two theatres, an art gallery, library and two schools, all of which are particularly sensitive to additional noise.
