Creative Room in collaboration with a very cool lifestyle store, Vancouver Special are pleased to announce the first annual Gingerbread Competition and Charity Auction!
Hidden behind a thin veneer of jujubes and smarties, the ubiquitous form of the gingerbread house has stood unchallenged for too long! The malignant plague of cookie-cutter housing, which fouls suburbia cannot be invited into our homes this holiday season. No longer representative of our modern lives, held in place by no more than icing and a repressing layer of nostalgia, the conventional gingerbread house must make way for the gingerbread house of today!
As a Holiday Season homage to the mid-century Art+Architecture Magazine’s Case Study House Program, Creative Room and Vancouver Special are challenging ten of Vancouver’s best architects and designers to rethink the gingerbread house in a form more fitting for our modern life: to reinterpret the gingerbread house within a modern context. The gingerbread house reinventions are to be judged by a celebrity panel based on the following criteria: originality, material expression, edible content, craftsmanship, consideration of landscape, use of lighting, and of course, whimsey. Entries will be auctioned off such that they may grace the living rooms of a select few Vancouver homes this holiday season. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Pivot Legal Society.
Auction runs until November 25th.
