Sculpture Court reimagined

Barbican Renewal

Sculpture Court

16-25 year olds are invited to join a free, hands-on consultation day of creative and interactive challenges. We’re looking for young adults to shape the future of the Barbican Centre Sculpture Court.

The Sculpture Court is a hidden gem of the Barbican Centre that we're redesigning to be more inclusive, greener and a welcoming setting for everyday visitors as well as special events. 

You'll join the Barbican Renewal team, creative consultancy Beyond the Box and architects Allies and Morrison in the dramatic setting of the Conservatory to take part in four interactive zones, completing activities at your own pace. 

Book a ticket starting at 11.00, 12.00, 13.00 or 14.00 and spend 1-2 hours completing the activities. We'll provide snacks and refreshments to keep you going.

Activity zones:

1. Feeling invited and welcome 

Sketch and share your ideas for what would bring you to the Sculpture Court as a young Londoner 

2. Outdoor programming across the seasons 

Make collages on our seasonal programming wall to tell us what you'd like to see at the Sculpture Court through the year 

 

3. Greening and nature challenge 

Explore types of planting that you'd like to see for wellbeing and mental health, sensory engagement, climate resilience, education and more 

4. Facilities and everyday use 

Draw, annotate and place facilities you'd like to see on our plans for the space 

If you have any access requirements or reasonable adjustments you would like to let us know about, please email [email protected] with subject line ‘Sculpture Court Reimagined’.
