Not mentioned in the article, but this was what J. G. Ballard's novel (and later film) High Rise was based on.

I was recently reading another book of Ballard while on the flight to London and, shortly after arriving, visited the Barbican. What a magical experience it was!
i think that was Trellick Tower, by Ernő Goldfinger (who incidentally the Bond villan was named after)

Trellick is what people film when they can't get the Barbican to work (bluntly)
