The Barbican is one of the most remarkable housing estates in the world. Designed in the mid 20th century by British firm, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and commissioned by the local authority, it is a unique chapter in the story of state-led architecture with much to teach us today.
Written and presented by Phineas Harper. A co-production between The Architectural Review and the Architecture Foundation.

This film features a walk through the City of London, starting at the Barbican Estate and finishing at the Southwark side of London Bridge. It highlights the varied architecture of the city including the 1960s brutalist buildings of the Barbican Estate, to the high-tech glass skyscrapers and historic gothic, regency and classic buildings, monuments and statues. Part of the film has been made on the high level walkways which stem from the Barbican estate, allowing an elevated view of the surroundings. From London Walls the film goes to street level. If you are visiting London and would like to see the sights for yourself, the best way is to walk, rather than take public transport. This walk is one I would definitely recommend.
In the film, the following sights, streets and features are highlighted: Beech Street Tunnel, Cromwell Place, Cromwell Tower, The Barbican Centre, Lakeside Terrace, Gilbert House, Barbican Highwalks, Silk Street, Gilbert Bridge, City of London School for Girls, Lauderdale Place, Defoe House, Willoughby House, Andrewes House, Moor House, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Andrewes Highwalk, Speed House, St. Giles Cripplegate, Tower 42, The Leadenhall Building (Cheesegrater), The Shard, The Gherkin, 1 Coleman Street, 40 Basinghall Street, City Place House, 125 London Wall, Alban Highwalk, Wood Street, 88 Wood Street, London Wall, City of London Police Headquarters, The Tower of St. Alban's, Gresham Street, St. Lawrence Jewry Church, Guildhall Library, London Guildhall, Guildhall Art Gallery, Guildhall Buildings, Mayor's & City of London Court, Basinghall Street, Bank of China, Bank of England, Mansion House, Lombard Street, Royal Exchange, Royal Fusiliers' War Memorial, J.H.

The Barbican Estate is a residential estate built during the 1960s and the 1970s in the City of London, in an area once devastated by World War II bombings and today densely populated by financial institutions. It contains, or is adjacent to, the Barbican Arts Centre, the Museum of London, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Barbican public library, the City of London School for Girls and a YMCA, forming the Barbican Complex. The complex is a prominent example of British brutalist architecture and, with the exception of Milton Court (which contained a fire station, medical facilities and some flats and which was demolished to allow the construction of a new apartment complex which also contains additional facilities for the Guildhall School of Music and Drama), is Grade II listed as a whole.
During World War II, the City suffered serious damage and loss of life. The Cripplegate area was virtually demolished and by 1951 the resident population of the City stood at 5,324 of whom 48 lived in Cripplegate. Discussions began in 1952 about the future of the site, and the decision to build new residential properties was taken by the Court of Common Council on 19 September 1957.

Robin Hood was a heroic outlaw in English folklore. A highly skilled archer and swordsman, he is known for "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor", assisted by a group of fellow outlaws known as his "Merry Men". Traditionally, Robin Hood and his men are depicted wearing Lincoln green clothes. The origin of the legend is claimed by some to have stemmed from actual outlaws, or from ballads or tales of outlaws.
Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the medieval period continuing through to modern literature, films and television. In the earliest sources, Robin Hood is a yeoman, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat wrongfully dispossessed of his lands and made into an outlaw by an unscrupulous sheriff.
In popular culture, Robin Hood and his band of "merry men" are usually portrayed as living in Sherwood Forest, in Nottinghamshire, where much of the action in the early ballads takes place. So does the very first recorded Robin Hood rhyme, four lines from the early 15th century, beginning: "Robyn hode in scherewode stod." However, the overall picture from the surviving early ballads and other early references suggest that Robin Hood may have been based in the Barnsdale area of what is now South Yorkshire (which borders Nottinghamshire).

In the film, the following sights, streets and features are highlighted: Beech Street Tunnel, Cromwell Place, Cromwell Tower, The Barbican Centre, Lakeside Terrace, Gilbert House, Barbican Highwalks, Silk Street, Gilbert Bridge, City of London School for Girls, Lauderdale Place, Defoe House, Willoughby House, Andrewes House, Moor House, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Andrewes Highwalk, Speed House, St. Giles Cripplegate, Tower 42, The Leadenhall Building (Cheesegrater), The Shard, The Gherkin, 1 Coleman Street, 40 Basinghall Street, City Place House, 125 London Wall, Alban Highwalk, Wood Street, 88 Wood Street, London Wall, City of London Police Headquarters, The Tower of St. Alban's, Gresham Street, St. Lawrence Jewry Church, Guildhall Library, London Guildhall, Guildhall Art Gallery, Guildhall Buildings, Mayor's & City of London Court, Basinghall Street, Bank of China, Bank of England, Mansion House, Lombard Street, Royal Exchange, Royal Fusiliers' War Memorial, J.H. Greathead statue, Cornhill, St. Michael's Church, Leadenhall Street, Gracechurch Street, Bishopgate Street, St. Andrew Undershaft Church, Whittington Avenue, Leadenhall Market, The Walkie Talkie, Fenchurch Street, Monument to the Great Fire of London (The Monument), Eastcheap, St. Magnus the Martyr Church, Adelaide House, Lower Thames Street (A3211), Fishmongers' Hall, Tower Bridge, The River Thames, HMS Belfast, 1 London Bridge, London Bridge (A3) and Southwark Needle.

New York Habitat http://www.nyhabitat.com/ introduces you to another charming area of Paris, the ''Ile-Saint-Louis''. In this video tour you will discover the Ile-Saint-Louis, the lovely island on the Seine River right behind Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Feel free to discover other video tours of Paris from New York Habitat, such as the video tour of the Champs Elysees in Paris part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qz6-ERBht8 & part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZRomZ5QkKg .
This video features :
The Classic Townhouses on Ile-Saint-Louis
Dating back to the seventeenth century, the island's buildings are for the most part townhouses built for members of the rich middle class, many of them officials who worked for Louis XIV. Since those times, the island has had many illustrious residents such as the poet Baudelaire, physicist Marie Curie and Voltaire. In the 1920s it was a favorite haunt of Hemingway.
Definition of "Hôtel"
Many historic buildings in France have the word "Hôtel" in their names. This does not mean they are actually hotels; in French "hotel often refers to a prestigious single family residence or mansion.
The Hôtel Lauzun (17 quai d'Anjou)
The Hôtel Lauzun is just such a mansion. One of the most beautiful in all of Paris, the mansion is famous for two things: its exquisite baroque interior and its later residents. You can take a guided tour of the mansion every Tuesday. Baudelaire lived here while writing some of the poems of his famous Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du mal).
3 quai d'Anjou
The house at 3 quai d'anjou was designed by and the personal residence of Louis Le Vau.
The Hôtel Lambert (1 quai d'Anjou)
Another of Paris' finest mansions is the Hôtel Lambert. In the nineteenth century, the Polish government bought the mansion and welcomed Polish exiles such as the musician Chopin and the poet Adam Mickiewicz, together with their French friends. This mansion had a large garden, which was unusual for a mansion on the island, as there was so little space.
24-26 quai de Bethune - Pompidou Residence
The building at 24-26 quai de Bethune was built on the site of a beautiful mansion also designed by Louis Le Vau. All that is left of the old mansion are the door panels, but they are considered the loveliest doors on the island. This is where the late president of France, Georges Pompidou, lived.
The Polish Library and Adam Mickiewicz Museum (6 quai d'Orléans)
The Polish Library Building also houses three museums in one, the first devoted to the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, the second to Chopin, and the third to artist Boleslas Biegas. It can be visited on Thursdays.
New York Habitat has many apartments http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment.html both on and around Ile-Saint-Louis where you can stay during your stay in Paris. So, skip the hotel and live like a real Parisian by renting your own apartment in the heart of Paris, and find a nice vacation rental http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/vacation through New York Habitat.
For example, this studio vacation rental (PA-4141) http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/vacation/4141 is located on Ile-Saint-Louis. The apartment includes a fully-equipped kitchen with all of the necessities to prepare a meal in the apartment and feel right at home!
This furnished 2-Bedroom Apartment (PA-4166) http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/furnished/4166 is also located on the Ile-Saint-Louis. With a fully equipped kitchen and accommodations for up to 6 people, this is a great apartment to feel like home during your stay in Paris.
New York Habitat provides also a nice selection of Bed & Breakfast http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/bed-breakfast all over Paris.
Ice Cream
You may want to sample the ice cream for which Ile-Saint-Louis is famous. The Parisians deem it to be the best in Paris. A favorite is Berthillon ice cream which has its headquarters on rue Saint-Louis-en-Ile.
L'Eglise Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile
The Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile church, designed once again by Le Vau was dedicated to King Louis IX, who after his death was made a saint. The front, hemmed in by buildings, hides a white interior, highly decorated with gilt, and filled with works of art and other treasures.

wn.com/Paris, France Video Tour Of The Ile Saint Louis
New York Habitat http://www.nyhabitat.com/ introduces you to another charming area of Paris, the ''Ile-Saint-Louis''. In this video tour you will discover the Ile-Saint-Louis, the lovely island on the Seine River right behind Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Feel free to discover other video tours of Paris from New York Habitat, such as the video tour of the Champs Elysees in Paris part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qz6-ERBht8 & part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZRomZ5QkKg .
This video features :
The Classic Townhouses on Ile-Saint-Louis
Dating back to the seventeenth century, the island's buildings are for the most part townhouses built for members of the rich middle class, many of them officials who worked for Louis XIV. Since those times, the island has had many illustrious residents such as the poet Baudelaire, physicist Marie Curie and Voltaire. In the 1920s it was a favorite haunt of Hemingway.
Definition of "Hôtel"
Many historic buildings in France have the word "Hôtel" in their names. This does not mean they are actually hotels; in French "hotel often refers to a prestigious single family residence or mansion.
The Hôtel Lauzun (17 quai d'Anjou)
The Hôtel Lauzun is just such a mansion. One of the most beautiful in all of Paris, the mansion is famous for two things: its exquisite baroque interior and its later residents. You can take a guided tour of the mansion every Tuesday. Baudelaire lived here while writing some of the poems of his famous Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du mal).
3 quai d'Anjou
The house at 3 quai d'anjou was designed by and the personal residence of Louis Le Vau.
The Hôtel Lambert (1 quai d'Anjou)
Another of Paris' finest mansions is the Hôtel Lambert. In the nineteenth century, the Polish government bought the mansion and welcomed Polish exiles such as the musician Chopin and the poet Adam Mickiewicz, together with their French friends. This mansion had a large garden, which was unusual for a mansion on the island, as there was so little space.
24-26 quai de Bethune - Pompidou Residence
The building at 24-26 quai de Bethune was built on the site of a beautiful mansion also designed by Louis Le Vau. All that is left of the old mansion are the door panels, but they are considered the loveliest doors on the island. This is where the late president of France, Georges Pompidou, lived.
The Polish Library and Adam Mickiewicz Museum (6 quai d'Orléans)
The Polish Library Building also houses three museums in one, the first devoted to the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, the second to Chopin, and the third to artist Boleslas Biegas. It can be visited on Thursdays.
New York Habitat has many apartments http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment.html both on and around Ile-Saint-Louis where you can stay during your stay in Paris. So, skip the hotel and live like a real Parisian by renting your own apartment in the heart of Paris, and find a nice vacation rental http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/vacation through New York Habitat.
For example, this studio vacation rental (PA-4141) http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/vacation/4141 is located on Ile-Saint-Louis. The apartment includes a fully-equipped kitchen with all of the necessities to prepare a meal in the apartment and feel right at home!
This furnished 2-Bedroom Apartment (PA-4166) http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/furnished/4166 is also located on the Ile-Saint-Louis. With a fully equipped kitchen and accommodations for up to 6 people, this is a great apartment to feel like home during your stay in Paris.
New York Habitat provides also a nice selection of Bed & Breakfast http://www.nyhabitat.com/paris-apartment/bed-breakfast all over Paris.
Ice Cream
You may want to sample the ice cream for which Ile-Saint-Louis is famous. The Parisians deem it to be the best in Paris. A favorite is Berthillon ice cream which has its headquarters on rue Saint-Louis-en-Ile.
L'Eglise Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile
The Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile church, designed once again by Le Vau was dedicated to King Louis IX, who after his death was made a saint. The front, hemmed in by buildings, hides a white interior, highly decorated with gilt, and filled with works of art and other treasures. It is a splendid setting for the many concerts given here throughout the year.
