Come and see the Sponge-scrapers
John Robertson Architects (JRA) invites you into our Southwark studio to a special exhibition of two of Fleet Street’s historic buildings – Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece - St Bride’s Church and the Grade II* listed Daily Express Building, one of the finest examples of art-deco architecture in London.
To celebrate the 2012 Festival, JRA will be creating scale models of both these remarkable buildings, entirely from sponge cake. Designed to the highest specification, the cakes will be fully clad in high performance icing and come with a Certificated CREEAM assessment.
The models and an accompanying exhibition of the history of these two fascinating buildings, the latter restored by JRA in 2001, will support the INSPIRE! Appeal - launched in March 2012 to fund the urgent repair and restoration of St Bride's tiered spire, said to have been the inspiration for the design of modern wedding cake.
JRA will be serving sponge cake and ice cream to visitors with all money raised donated to the INSPIRE! Appeal.
