Architects build gingerbreAd city
LONDON: Architects swapped traditional building materials for sugar and spice to create an edible gingerbread city of the future at London’s V&A Museum. The annual exhibition, which is put together by London’s Museum of Architecture, runs from 8 December to 6 January and showcases buildings by architects, designers and engineers who had been asked to create a sustainable and inclusive city of the future. “We design and we work a lot in model making, and at this scale as well,” said Robert Nolan, an architect at APT. More than 60 structures have been baked and the city features a cable car made of liquorice, and cycle lanes and pedestrian route made entirely of sugar.
