Il Barbican è l'architettura brutalista nella sua forma più radicale: una cittadella di cemento che racchiude una galleria d'arte, sale da concerto, teatri, cinema, una biblioteca e una serra tropicale. La galleria ospita ambiziose mostre tematiche che attraversano arte, design, cinema e musica. La Curve, galleria a ingresso libero, presenta installazioni che cambiano regolarmente. Perdersi nell'edificio è quasi un rito di passaggio — basta seguire le linee gialle sul pavimento.
