A view from a high vantage point of the main foyer in the newly opened Barbican Centre, showing a sculpture suspended over the staircase and the entrance for the Barbican Hall. This image was taken shortly after the opening of the Barbican Centre on Wednesday 3rd March 1982. The Barbican Centre was ceremonially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, who unveiled a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion. The sculpture in this image, designed by Michel Santry, is suspended from a skylight above the stairs. The sculpture is in the shape of an octahedron, and is built from six honeycomb groups of gold patina and brushed stainless steel.
