Gingerbread Modernist House

For Matt's birthday I chose the first option for an architect: a modernist gingerbread house :)
After some research, I settled on the Unite d'Habitation in Marseille. We've been there together, its a great building, and in gingerbread terms -relatively straightforward (a big box. That's architectural heresy).
I made a Modulor Man in gingerbread(man), and stuck it on the front. In other terms, it is somewhat accurate. I took the laptop into the kitchen so I had some pictures. I was seriously regretting being ill on the day when we decorated the gingerbread house at college, but eventually got there with the sticking it together with chocolate.
All in all, a nice visual gag. Laurence Stern would be proud (maybe). Le Corbusier, less so :)

Oh yes, and it has jelly diamond pilotti.
