Headline SponsorTibbalds Planning and Urban Design
Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design is an independent, award-winning consultancy established in 2003. It is a team of planners, urban designers and architects focus on the crossover between planning and urban design with the philosophy of making people-friendly places for the benefit of those who use them. The company launched its Employee Ownership Trust in March 2013, which will see employees take greater ownership of the company over the next few years. www.tibbalds.co.uk SupportersFinsa FINSA was a pioneer in the manufacture of particleboard and MDF on the Iberian Peninsula. It began its industrial activity in 1931, at a sawmill in Portanxil (Ames). Ever since our inception, we have always been aware of the responsibility we take on by using wood as the base element to manufacture and develop our solutions. We learn from it and we incorporate many of its virtues into our organisation: its versatility and strength as well as its emotional closeness to people, and the comfort and warmth it brings to society. Our wide product range follows the same philosophy, and is currently present in the daily lives of human beings, forming part of the most cherished environments. finsa.com CBRE
FriendsGilles and Cecilie Studio
Gilles & Cecilie is a multi-disciplinary creative team providing illustration, interior, installation and wallpainting. They met at Central Saint Martins while studying graphic design. The office was established in 2006 in London and they work internationally. gillesandcecilie.com Uncorked
Uncorked is one of the UK’s leading small, independent wine merchants. Working here involves spending a lot of time saying no to hopeful suppliers whose wine just doesn’t make it in the quality stakes. The wines we buy from individual producers to sell to individual customers are here because we enjoy them, because they are very well crafted, and because the wine grower works in a way which we consider honest and transparent. Our size means that the whole team is involved in many of the decision-making tastings. It means we can be quick on our feet. It also means that our staff are better informed and that we can offer a more personal service. uncorked.co.uk |
About the Gingerbread CityThe Gingerbread City is an exhibition created by the Museum of Architecture with the aim of connecting the public with architecture and design professions through an innovative themed display.
Now in its third year, the city is based on a masterplan designed by Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design. Each year, key UK-based architecture practices respond to the masterplan by designing buildings, parks and public spaces as well as baking them out of gingerbread. The exhibition is MoA's annual fundraising project that supports its year-long programming and activities. ColophonExhibition created by the Museum of Architecture
