Head over to the Barbican from today until 11 January 2015 to discover the ‘Constructing Worlds’ exhibition that explores architecture and its relationship to the world through more than 250 images from 18 artists. The Barbican brings together eighteen exceptional photographers from the 1930s to the present day who have changed the way we view architecture and perceive the world around us.

From the first skyscrapers in New York and decaying colonial structures in the Congo, to the glamorous suburban homes of post-war California, and the modern towers of Venezuela, the exhibition takes us on a global journey through 20th and 21st century architecture.

Featuring over 250 works, this exhibition highlights the power of photography to reveal hidden truths in our society.
