During the construction of the Barbican, Peter Bloom photographed the building as it was being made. After he donated this archive to the Barbican, I was asked to create a digital home for the collection.

The home page featured a kind of contact-strip as navigation, and I used the floor plans as a splash page for the loading of each gallery.

Then and Now photos

As an additional aspect to the website, I was asked to recreate a selection of Bloom's photographs to show how the building had developed from its WIP state.
