Using edible matter as her medium, art student Risa Hirai whips up mini models resembling full meals and even bonsai trees. Instead of using traditional paints and brushes to create her works, her off-beat palette consists of flour, sugar, butter, and oil. Once combined, the ingredients get baked in an ‘artistic’ oven, which then emits the delicious smell, adding to the overall experience of her artwork.

Standing over 13 feet high and 200 feet wide, the artwork recreates the skyline of Macau, China. It was installed on the Macau waterfront just outside Hong Kong in December.

Just last week we brought you a peek at the incredible winners of this year’s NYC’s Canstruction competition, which challenges engineers, architects, contractors, and students to create massive structures made entirely from canned goods to raise awareness and food for the hungry. Just yesterday we sent one of our very own intrepid reporters to capture an up-close look at all of the incredible submissions — hit the jump for an exclusive look at some of this year’s best designs – and if you’re in town be sure to stop by the World Financial Center because this exhibit closes on Monday!

Mass Studies created this wonderful dream-inspired pavilion for Denver’s Dialog:City last summer. Known as the Air Forest, the pneumatic pavilion absorbs passing wind currents to stay inflated and provides shade while allowing sunlight to filter through, creating a vibrant public space. The 1,400 square meter structure is easily transported, sets up in a snap without any building materials, and at night it lights up in a beautiful display of luminous pillars.
