Ever on the lookout for architectural merrymaking, Astragal is pleased to present a select cut of pictures from the successful AJ/Urban Splash Tribeca Infobox exhibition opening.
 |
Taking in the competition... Before the announcement of the shortlist, visitors peruse some of the 112 models on display |
 |
View down the gallery, with mae architect's (right) and HVVA's (left) models in the foreground. Wine glass not to scale |
 |
The tension is palpable... Nervous smiles from guests gulping down a few drinks prior to the shortlist announcement. Note the white knuckles of the hand gripping the glass of orange juice |
 |
Quite a catch Brandishing a copy of the exhibition catalogue, AJ Editor Kieran Long addresses the baying crowd, roughly demonstrating the size of a 1:50 model for this site (or recounting just how big that Perch was that he caught last week) |
 |
More good catches Urban Splash's head honcho Tom Bloxham (MBE) addresses the crowd, praising the quality of entries. Again, note the post-fishing trip style hand gesticulations. |
 |
Smiles all round from the magnificently-moustachioed Robert Jamison and his partner-in-crime |
 |
Spirits rising... Flushed with success, the abnormally short team behind Black architecture peer onto their model. Their proposal includes a balloon that can take visitors above the site. |

(Some of the) Winning teams Gather round Kieran and Tom, all that is missing is a matchball and FA cup filled with Moet. Better than any fizzy stuff though was the several gallons of Cain's bitter the guests went on to plough through, together with mini fish and chips. The evening went on, merriment was made and midnight oil burnt... |
