5th Annual CDRC Gingerbread House Design exhibition at BSA Space: Boston you’re my home.

Boston, MA BSA Space’s 5th Annual Gingerbread Design exhibition features masterful culinary follies by local architecture and landscape architecture firms from Boston and elsewhere in Massachusetts. This year, 16 teams will explore the theme: “Boston, You’re My Home,” creating unique, sweet renditions of housing types—past, present, and future—for the city. Launched in 2012, the annual Gingerbread House Design exhibition raises funds for the community design programs of the BSA Foundation. Visitors can vote by bidding for their favorite houses at gingerbread.cdrcboston.org. Donations of any size are welcome, and all donations count.  All donations are tax-deductible and support the community design programs of the BSA Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. The house that generates the most total donations will be declared the winner and announced at a closing reception on December 19. Also recognized will be the house that receives the highest number of bids. Guest “celebrity” judges will be awarding a few more whimsical awards to the constructions of their choosing. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. The exhibition is open Monday through Friday, 10am – 6pm, weekends and holidays 10am – 5pm. A list of the architecture firms participating includes (in alphabetical order): Arrowstreet (Boston) CannonDesign (Boston) Colin Smith Architecture (Lexington) designLAB architects (Boston) Gienapp Design Associates (Danvers) Kyle Zick Landscape Architecture (Boston) LDa Architecture & Interiors (Cambridge) Levi + Wong Design Associates (Concord) Michaela McGuire/Boston Architectural College (Boston) Safdie Architects (Somerville) STV (Boston) Catherine Truman Architects (Cambridge)   For more details, visit http://www.architects.org/bsaspace/exhibitions/5th-annual-gingerbread-house-design-competition
