On Dec. 12, 2015, AIA Houston (the Houston chapter of the American Institute of Architects) held its annual Gingerbread Build Off, where contestants — including local architecture firms — spend from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. building gingerbread houses.
Kathleen English and her colleagues at English + Associates Architects, had one of the winning entrants. They built a Himalayan mountain with a Buddha molded from white chocolate. English describes their creation and where the idea came from.
