  • I can't answer your question but I was surprised to find out that the Barbican has never had any social housing. Turns out it was expensive private property all along.

  • Sorry, it retorical. I'm by no means an expert but I'd hasard a guess that it's because it's in a prime location, has always had middling to affluent residents which reduces the likelihood of social issues. It also has a relatively high police presence due to the historic (and current) terrorist threat. Point being, buildings don't in themselves cause crime and social disfunction.

  • “Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months.”

  • Ah, sorry, going through posts one by one.
