You may have noticed that we’ve taken a short break from the giveaway business, but who are we kidding, they’re so much fun that we couldn’t stop for too long! Now that the hiatus is officially over we’ve decided to celebrate by giving away a copy of The New Wave in Danish Architecture by Kjeld Vindum and Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss. The book is a comprehensive examination of the new developments that have occurred in Danish Architecture since the 2000s. Featuring interviews with architects Bjarke Ingels, Winy Maas, and Julien De Smedt, the book explores the success of 12 young Danish architecture offices including PLOT, BIG, and Nord.

Here at Architizer we love celebrating winners (A+ Awards, anybody?). That’s why a few weeks ago we launched our first-ever Gingerbread Competition, and boy was it a sweet moment. (See what we did there?) We tasked our readers to create a work of edible architecture, whether it be a re-interpretation of an iconic building or their own unique design.

Well, the deadline has come and gone, and after sifting through countless entries, the Architizer staff has picked a winner! With architects and design enthusiasts submitting everything from candy tree structures to sushi tea houses, believe us, it was not easy. And so, ladies and gentlemen, drumroll please: Winning our admiration (and a brand new iPad Mini!) is Team Jacussi for their cookie construction of Oscar Niemeyer’s famed National Congress of Brazil. The edible edifice was not only meticulously assembled, but also serves as an entirely functional candy dish. Plus, it pays tribute to the legendary architect, who passed away this month.

While there may be only one grand prize winner, we were so impressed with the quality of the entries that we couldn’t keep them from our readers. We rounded up five additional favorites, including pueblo homes and hedonistic museums, to present for a tasty Tuesday treat.

If you haven’t heard, Architizer is hosting our first ever Gingerbread House Competition! Obviously, (most) architects are great at designing houses, but we asked ourselves whether or not that skill translates into  cookie construction. Tasking architects and design enthusiasts worldwide to create their own tasty creations, the Architizer staff will judge the entries and choose our favorite five finalists to feature on our homepage and social media platforms. On top of everything else, the grand prize winner will receive a brand new iPad Mini to celebrate the holiday season!
