Making the models for our food presentation

Pickled green apple encased in sweet gelatin vinegar.

Bauhaus architecture generally has cubic forms, smooth faces, flat roofs and favors right angles. Our main dish features cubic roast pork, smooth parsnip purée and pickled green apple film.

Visual and physical taste test of our dessert. It will be eventually displayed on a model which we will make to emphasize more of Bauhaus architecture.

Watching our concrete like black sesame ice cream form. It is one of the component in our dessert. The dish plays on the monochrome aesthetics of Bauhaus architecture.

Researching architecture styles for fooditecture

Hey there Fooditects,

I hope you're looking forward to the events programme next week, it's going to be an interesting time exploring architecture through a totally different medium- food. We will be issuing the full brief and overview of the two weeks on Monday, but before that, it would be good if you can have a think about the following:

Select an architectural period (style) or design movement.

Examples include (but are not limited to):
- Modernism
- Post-modernism
- De-constructivism
- Structuralism (Archigram?)
- Neoclassicism
- Brutalism
- Gothic

Do some initial research on a particular architectural movement/style that you are interested in, and bring this along with you when you come on Monday(11th May). More details will be furnished to you then, so see you guys at 10am at Chatham 611.

Have a great weekend,
Team Fooditecture
