Models of Tate Modern and NEO Bankside can be viewed by the public during the London Festival of Architecture

To mark this summer’s London Festival of Architecture, Native Land and Grosvenor have commissioned sculptor Brendan Jamison to recreate NEO Bankside, its new residential development, as well as Tate Modern, entirely from sugar cubes.

The completed models will be built to a scale of 1:100, with Tate Modern’s chimney being over one metre high. The sculptures will be constructed from over 80,000 sugar cubes weighing around 255 kilograms.

The models can be viewed by the public over the weekend of 3-4 July at the NEO Bankside Sales Pavilion – a prototype of the apartments being built - which adjoins the development site at Hopton Street, London SE1.
