Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê alumni have spent six months with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Bartlett School developing the world's largest punchbowl (video, 6 mins).
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê alumni Sam Bompas and Harry Parr have been applying their degrees in original ways by combining architecture and food. The most recent Bompas & Parr project saw them pull off one of their greatest installations yet: flooding a building with punch in the Architectural Punch Bowl.
Through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, Sam and Harry employed the skills of fellow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê alumnus Nick Westby to manage the project and ensure the structure would hold up. Throw in Alex James (of Blur fame), lots of stunning lighting and a crumbling Georgian mansion, and the result is a mesmerising feast for the eyes.
