Please join members of the American Institute of Architects UK Chapter, as Paul Lincoln, director of policy and communications for the Landscape Institute, leads a tour of the public spaces of the Golden Lane and Barbican Estates.

Following the destruction of the Blitz, the City of London Corporation commissioned two estates designed to bring residents back into the City. Designed by Chamberlain, Bon and Powell, Golden Lane and the Barbican estates now offer models of how to live in the City. This guided tour will examine the public spaces of these grade II listed estates.

Paul Lincoln is director of policy and communications for the Landscape Institute, an educational charity and chartered body responsible for protecting, conserving and enhancing the natural and built environment for the benefit of the public. He is a member of the City of London Guide Lecturers Association and has lived in Golden Lane Estate, one of the two estates to be viewed on this tour, for the past five years.

This tour is part of a series inspired by the exhibit ‘Le Corbusier at the Barbican’ and explores the impact Corbusier had either directly or indirectly on the Barbican and urban living in London.
