So the basic rundown for RECIPE FOR CHANGE is that some of Vancouver’s top architects and designers were invited to re-envision the traditional typology of the gingerbread house. The houses were shown on their site for the past week and last night it culminated in a live critique and silent auction to benefit Architecture For Humanity.

Above are notable judges D’arcy Jones, Ken Lum, Bill Pechet and Christina Ritchie, discussing our very own Aaron Harowitz’s team’s house.

My second favourite house, the Vancouver special sinking into 18th Avenue. Beautiful.
