Materials and Making in the Square Mile

This walk takes you through centuries of making in the Square Mile. The Brutalist architecture of the Barbican, itself a masterclass in the potential of a single medium, introduces a neighbourhood whose varied, mostly small-scale buildings reflect a history of craft, industry and materials.

Encounter work by architects and artists including Horace Jones and William de Morgan, MAKE and Fletcher Priest, and see Richard Rogers and Terry Farrell in a new light.

The walk will start and end at the Level G Barbican Shop entrance and will last approximately 90 minutes.

Part of Barbican OpenFest.
