UCL alumni Sam Bompas and Harry Parr have been applying their degrees in original ways by combining architecture and food. After 6 months of development with UCL's Bartlett School, Bompas & Parr pulled off one of their greatest installations yet: flooding a building with punch in the Architectural Punch Bowl. Through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership from UCL, they employed the skills of fellow UCL alum Nick Westby to manage the project and ensure the structure would hold up. Throw in Alex James (of Blur), lots of stunning lighting and a crumbling Georgian mansion, and the result is a mesmerising feast for the eyes.
