Found on IG @barbican_city_of_london

An apartment in Bevin Court is a sought after London home in a Modernist icon designed by the enigmatic giant of architecture Berthold Lubetkin. It was very nearly called Lenin Court and there’s a secret buried under the striking central staircase. Link in our bio to full post and original film of the unveiling of the Lenin memorial. And the six degrees of separation between this post and the previous post? Werkbund - Modernism - Walter Gropius - Lawn Gardens - Isokon - Lubetkin. Check out the brilliant new Isokon and the Bauhaus in Britain book.
