Urban Poetry is a fascinating dive into the Barbican Estate, a place that really embodies that raw Brutalist style. It’s not just about the concrete and design, but also about the people who live there, their stories interwoven with the estate's history. The pacing is reflective—sometimes slow, allowing you to absorb the atmosphere. You feel the weight of the architecture as residents share their unique experiences, painting a vivid picture of life in such a stark environment. There's this tension between appreciation for the bold design and the struggles of daily life. It’s not your typical documentary format, leaning more into the personal than the academic, which makes it stand out in its own quiet way.
