I find it one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in London. Some of us actually like these sort of forms and concrete as a material.

I find that thing grotesque, it's like a bad joke on the London skyline. Some skyscrapers are nice like 30 St Mary Axe but when they're done bad the fact they're made of glass doesn't make them any more attractive.
In the end its all completely subjective.
- Nursie 8y agoI think your subjective might be a minority view though. I'm not talking particularly about the barbican, but the worst most people could level at the glass towers in London is blandness. To many/most the concrete monstrosities of the 60s and 70s are actively oppressive.
