bought their Christmas presents. The high street however is changing, what will 
the future hold as online shopping and drones become increasingly common.

"Elaborately decorated gingerbread became a symbol for the elegance and lavishness of England. The gold leaf that was used to decorate gingerbread cookies led to the popular expression “to take the gilt off gingerbread.”

The Kinder Waffle
Sheppard Robson
2019

This high-tech school is the best place for children to make as much noise as they want! This is because the noise the children make is absorbed into giant sound catchers which is then transformed into power used to run the school. 

Watch as the children walk along the rainbow sound wave paths that ribbon through the school. The design of the building has been based on an ‘ear shape’ which hugs the site and allows for a large courtyard play space at the entrance. 

The fluid rib structure is inspired by the motion of soundwaves, which emerges from the ground and raises to its peak at the giant auditorium space creating a dynamic roofscape for the children to play.

The Royal Soft-Serve-Atory
by 
Arup Architecture

The Royal Soft-Serve-atory combines cutting edge architectural design and engineering nous with the wonder and intrigue of 21st century space observation, to create a dynamic, sculptural form that overlooks the entire city.
In a rapidly digitalizing, citifying world, our scheme provides an oasis of interactivity and education for all generations, a reminder to look up from our screens and imagine. Housing the most powerful (and sickly sweet) telescope ever made, the Royal Soft-Serve-Atory allows the common gingerbread person the opportunity to explore the limits of the known universe, and into the ever-closer prospect of accessible space travel.
