Residents: Inside the Iconic Barbican Estate | Anton Rodriguez | London (UK) | By Lee Fleming

We're excited for the release of the Residents: Inside the Iconic Barbican Estate book by our good friend Anton Rodriguez. The London-based freelance photographer currently resides in the Barbican Estate, the perfect abode to document neighbouring residents in one of London's most recognised brutalist architectural sites. Located in London's financial district, the Barbican Estate was built during the 1960s and the 1970s and is occupied by over 4,000 residents alongside the Barbican Centre, the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the London Symphony Orchestra.

Having started photographing Barbican residents within the intimate settings of their own home as part of a VSCO Artist Initiative project, Anton's intriguing photo series has deservedly been published in the form a 160 page book. Featuring more than 22 Barbican residents and residences Anton encapsulates the incredible interiors and creative people who live in the iconic Brutalist estate.

Designed by Shoreditch-based design & brand development agency EACH London, the book features an essay by design writer Katie Treggiden who explores the history of the site and why there is such an interest in seeing ‘behind the scenes’. The book Is due to be released on the 10th October 2016 with pre-orders currently available on the Barbican website.
