■ Recommended Points

1. Create a "one-of-a-kind gingerbread house" with an active architect

This event allows participants to create their dream "gingerbread house" together with active architects.

While enjoying the fun of creation, they can interact with real architects and "know" and "learn" about the world of architecture!

*All sweets will be provided by us. Please note that we cannot accommodate food allergies.

2. From design to construction! Experience the professional process

Participants will experience the actual work and architectural process of an architect through "gingerbread house building"!

① Think (Imagine and Plan)

Imagine what kind of house you want to build and where to use the sweets (=building materials) in front of you. Expand your imagination and create your own house image!

② Draw (Draft and Confirm)

Draw the imagined image on paper as a blueprint (design drawing) and submit it to the architect. Just like in real architecture, you will receive checks and advice from experts.

③ Build (Construct)

Based on the design drawing you drew, actually create the gingerbread house.

Experience a simulated flow of an architect's work: "Planning → Design → Construction"!

3. Deepen understanding naturally while having fun. The first step into the world of architecture

The most important thing in this experience is "having fun"! By thoroughly enjoying gingerbread house building, the result will naturally lead to an understanding of an architect's work and the architectural process – that is the form of learning we aim for.
