Gingerbread folk have a proud architectural history - from the Icing Buttresses of the past to the sugar spun spires of the present day. Recently, the world of Gingerbread house design has been pushing towards sustainable practices – houses that exist in harmony with the environment, but still look good enough to eat. Terry* applauds our Gingerbread'ren's efforts. In solidarity, we are launching a design competition that combines eco and spice and everything nice. The challenge in a nutshell: apply sustainable building design practices to a gingerbread house. 1) Everything must be edible. 2) However half-baked (har har), there must be at least FOUR identifiable sustainable building design elements. 3) Your design must include a minimum of a floor, a door, four walls, a roof, and two windows.
