I want to become a tiny Gingerbread man and live in a Gingerbread City...
Christmas is now over but who can blame us for still reminiscing over the sweet sweet aroma of gingerbread from the Museum of Architecture where they held The Gingerbread City designed and built by renowned London architects.
It all happened when we first walked past the shop front... captured by many tiny but beautifully decorated structures of sweets and everything tasty, the alluring scent of gingerbread sent us off our feet, floating our way into the Gingerbread heaven...
It really is a challenge to tour around this Gingerbread City without your mouth watering and slapping your hands from trying to touch (or pick) the sweets off the houses! Guiltyyy! Kudos to the children that were dragged here by their evil parents who actually craved some gingerbread themselves though!!
As the exhibition has now ended (7th-22nd December), the winners have been announced...
Congratulations for the following Architecture firms for winning the following awards...
The MoA winner of The Gingerbread City 2016 and most voted by visitors is NBBJ!
