On December 6, the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa School of Architecture American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS<\/abbr>) helped spread the holiday cheer with their Gingerbread Esquisse (a French word meaning a rough or preliminary sketch). Alumni, local architects and community all gathered at the architecture school courtyard to construct frosted candy and graham cracker houses.<\/p>\n

“The Gingerbread Esquisse is an expression of architecture through another means,” said AIAS<\/abbr> Vice President Derrick Pang<\/strong>. “It\u2019s just a fun event to bring the architecture students and community together.”<\/p>\n

The esquisse is a long standing tradition at the School of Architecture that gives many students a break from the stress of finals as they build gingerbread houses. There were four categories for the house builders: tallest, best overall, best replica and best landscape.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a cool event to participate with my classmates before finals to celebrate the holidays and support the upperclassmen who put the esquisse on,” said first-year architecture student Wilfredo Corpuz Jr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
