Lauderdale Tower, Barbican Estate, London - Concrete Brutalism, Brutalist Architecture Model: Mini 066

Model 066_Lauderdale Tower, Barbican Estate - Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some towers carry the weight of a whole vision. Lauderdale Tower, completed in 1974, is one of the three residential towers that define the Barbican Estate. Designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, it rises 43 storeys above the city with a profile of repeating verticals and projecting balconies. Alongside Cromwell and Shakespeare Towers, it forms part of the most ambitious example of post-war housing in Britain.

This model captures its vertical rhythm. The slender bays, the depth of the balconies, and the sense of height were carefully reduced into miniature scale. I worked to keep the clarity of its silhouette and the sculptural quality that makes it stand out in the skyline.

A small cast of one of London’s most recognisable towers.

Brief Overview:
Lauderdale Tower is one of the three 43-storey towers of the Barbican Estate, part of the larger vision by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon.

Along with Cromwell and Shakespeare Towers, it is a defining feature of Britain’s most celebrated Brutalist housing development.



Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
