"London Tower Bridge" by Kirksey / Shade Heights won Grand Prix de Show.

In gingerbread building news so far this year: a golf club in Bryan, Texas, broke the world record for the largest house, this duo built a series of candy-coated mini-museums, and two San Francisco hotels continue to battle it out for the best house.

Last Saturday, AIA Houston and Architecture Center Houston with Houston-based incubator C2 Creative hosted their 5th Annual Gingerbread Build-Off, which drew more than 30 teams vying for such awards as the Grand Prix de Show, Best Traditionally Themed, and Best Non-Traditionally Themed. The winning confection-constructions, shown below, are on view at the Architecture Center Houston this week.
