Sweden’s Christmas competition, where participants make houses using gingerbread, goes virtual

Everyone around the world gets ready to treat their taste buds during the time of Christmas.

 A gingerbread house model is pictured at the ArkDes.

The gingerbread is one such loaf cake that’s made particularly in this season.

The famous gingerbread refers to a broad category of baked goods, typically flavoured with ginger, cloves, nutmeg or cinnamon and sweetened with honey, sugar or molasses.

 A gingerbread model with the shape of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, is pictured at the ArkDes.

An architecture and design competition, that is held every year around Christmas in Sweden, goes virtual due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The participants make gingerbread houses and marvellous architectural designs using gingerbread.

 More than one hundred entries from members of the public based around the theme of distance.

Hundreds of competitors sent in their entries while the staff at Stockholm's national centre of architecture and design – ArkDes – took 3D prints of it to be displayed.

 The gingerbread houses are stored at the museum and fans can visit ArkDes's website to view the entries.

The competition that sees many visitors during the time of display, will now virtually be displayed on their official website.
