about canstruction

Working in tandem with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Society for Design Administration (SDA), Canstruction is making a significant contribution to the fight against hunger.

Canstruction combines the competitive spirit of a design/build competition with a unique way to help feed hungry people. Competing teams of design professionals from architecture and engineering, as well as groups from schools and colleges, showcase their talents by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of canned foods. At the close of the exhibitions all of the food used in the structures is donated to HACAP food reservoir for distribution to local food pantries, crisis centers, and shelters.
