London's skyline has been recreated using fruit as part of a promotional campaign. Carl Warner and a team of five model makers spent three weeks crafting the scene using hundreds of pieces of fruit and veg - all painstakingly glued together. The Houses of Parliament are built from a mix of asparagus, green beans and runner beans which are mixed with baby sweetcorn to depict the intricate stonework. The Gherkin, found in the Square mile, is cunningly crafted out of two types of melon and embedded with green beans to highlight its renowned spiralling glass frames. While Nelson's Column is cleverly constructed from a cucumber, baby courgettes and a carrot with a monkey nut and almond stuck on to it. Other high profile London landmarks given a makeover include The London Eye which has green beans as spokes and its pods made out of baby plum tomatoes. It even features the Thames-side lampposts which are made from onions wrapped in vanilla pods for the lamps, asparagus for the posts and mackerel for the ornate fishplinths. The spire on St Paul's Cathedral, has been given a fruity new look, after the spire was created from roundels of carrot, yellow and green courgette and baby leeks. The famous dome designed by Christopher Wren in the 17th century, has been made using a melon, while the impressive columns have been crafted out of baby sweetcorn. Roopa Gulati from the Good Food channel, the company who commissioned the work, said the image represents how fruit and vegatables can be used imaginatively in the diet. He said ''This stunning image has quite literally transformed the London skyline with good food proves that fun with food in a creative and light-hearted way is the way forward''.

日前，在某宣傳活動(dòng)中，倫敦幾位工藝師用水果重塑出倫敦全景。 卡爾?華納和一支由五位模型塑造師組成的團(tuán)隊(duì)花了三周的時(shí)間，使用了數(shù)百塊水果和蔬菜完成了這項(xiàng)工程——并且所有部分都是用膠水辛辛苦苦粘起來(lái)的。 工藝師們使用蘆筍、青豆、紅花菜豆，再混以甜玉米生動(dòng)刻畫了英國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)大廈這座錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的石砌建筑。 位于倫敦金融城的“炮彈大廈”由兩種瓜類巧妙建成，并飾以青豆，以突出這座玻璃建筑的著名螺旋式結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn)。 納爾遜紀(jì)念柱則用一根黃瓜、小胡瓜和一根胡蘿卜巧妙塑成，上面還鑲嵌有落花生和杏仁。 其它用果蔬重塑的倫敦著名地標(biāo)還包括“倫敦眼”，其輪輻由青豆制成，吊艙則用小西紅柿制成。 泰晤士河畔的街燈柱也被“改頭換面”，燈泡由洋蔥代替，外圍裹以香草豆莢，燈柱由蘆筍制作，而裝飾華麗的魚柱基則取材于鯖魚。 圣保羅大教堂的尖頂也換上了“水果裝”，使用的材料包括胡蘿卜的圓盤、黃色和綠色小胡瓜以及嫩韭菜。 由17世紀(jì)建筑師克里斯多弗?弗倫設(shè)計(jì)的著名穹頂則由一種瓜類打造而成，引人注目的圓柱則用甜玉米打造。 委托開(kāi)展此項(xiàng)目的“健康飲食”頻道的羅帕?古拉蒂稱，這副全景圖說(shuō)明了如何將水果和蔬菜有創(chuàng)意地用于飲食之中。 他說(shuō)：“這幅令人驚嘆的全景圖用健康食品重塑了倫敦全景，這表明創(chuàng)新飲食和趣味飲食將是今后的潮流?！?/font> 相關(guān)閱讀 （英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津Julie 姍姍編輯） |
