A jelly old time

Now through July 20, new projects from a handful of big-name architects (including Foster + Partners and William Alsop) are on display at London's Architectural Jelly Banquet, part of LFA 2008. Those projects: re-creations of famous buildings like Foster's Millennium Bridge (pictured), made from gelatin. They're part of a competition, with winners judged on innovation, aesthetics, and wobble factor (seriously). A bit silly, but (in keeping with today's design-world theme) it's all for charity—molds and equipment will be auctioned off to benefit the charity Article 25. The ten finalists are on display now, but we recommend waiting for the July 4 party, which includes dancers wearing "jelly costumes." Somewhere, a fetish is born.
