Toronto Society of Architects calling on submissions for Gingerbread City 2024

The Toronto Society of Architects’ (TSA) has issued a call for submissions for their fifth annual Gingerbread City event, which aims to bring together architects and designers to create unique edible creations that celebrate architecture with a holiday twist.

TSA Gingerbread City initially started in 2020 to help bring together Toronto’s architectural community. This year’s edition will include both a virtual exhibit and a small in-person showcase at The Maker Bean Café located at 1052 Bloor Street West in Toronto.

Those interested in participating must register here prior to December 2 as there is limited space for the in-person display. Submissions will need to be dropped off on Dec. 11 between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. at Maker Bean Café. All digital submissions will be required by December 11.

Past Gingerbread City showcases have included everything from iconic Toronto landmarks and landscapes to edible retrofits and residences. This year’s creations will be on display beginning December 12. There will also be an opportunity to meet the makers at the official launch of this year’s Gingerbread City on December 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Returning to this year’s Gingerbread City is also the TSA’s popular Kids’ Main Street workshops, a program for the youngest designers in the family, that invites children to be a part of Gingerbread City and learn about city building as they design and decorate their very own Main Street façades. Two workshops will be held on December 7 and tickets are currently available on the TSA’s website.

Gingerbread City is open to all and is free to enter via the TSA’s call for submissions, and all makers are invited to take part in this year’s festivities.
