Favourite buildings: two spring to mind, both important examples of communal space. One is the 15th-century cloister of San Marco, Florence with its classical Renaissance design plus ethereal frescoes by Fra Angelico. The other is the Barbican Centre, whose Brutalism may not be to everyone’s taste, but it encapsulates the dynamic spirit of community and culture of modern Britain.
