London’s Barbican marks the site of a medieval structure that would have defended an important access point. Its architecture was designed to repel. Some might argue, as they stumble out of Barbican tube station and gaze upwards, not much has changed in the interim.The use of the word “barbican” was in decline in this country until the opening in 1982 of the Barbican Arts Centre.
