GINGERBREAD: COMPETITION & CHARITY AUCTION
via creativeroom.ca...Last year we challenged some of Vancouver's top Architects and Designers to reinvision the traditional typology of the gingerbread house. The competition was a candy-filled homage to The Case Study House Program organized by Arts and Architecture Magazine from 1945 to 1964. We asked the entrants to do away with ubiquitous veneer of jujubes and smarties in an effort to re-interpret the gingerbread house within a modern context. The results were outstanding!
There were 10 appetizing submissions from some of Vancouver's finest Design firms,
here are my top 3 most palatable.
