Bompas
& Parr is curating a jelly design competition as part
of this summer's London Festival of Architecture. The resulting
moulds and preparatory material will be auctioned on behalf
of Architects for Aid, a charity dedicated to providing building
expertise to NGOs and community groups.
Entries received before the deadline of midnight on 23 May
will be transformed into jelly moulds by the team at Bompas
& Parr. These moulds will be used to create jellies that
will be judged alongside the entry material submitted. Judges

for Aid during the festival. To read the brief click here.
The competition is part of a series of events across the London
Festival of Architecture that explore the relationship between
food and architecture. The results will be on display to the
public during the Architectural Jelly Banquet being held in
UCL’s Quad on the 4th July. Tickets are available, from the
