It is CANSTRUCTION time again! These design/build competitions are held in numerous cities (including our own Boston, NYC, and Philadelphia) where teams of architects, engineers, and students compete to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food. The resulting magnificent sculptures are displayed to the public. At the close of the exhibitions all of the canned food used in the structures is donated to local food banks. Not surprisingly, many exhibitions are held in November to coincide with Thanksgiving food drives.
In New York City, where the CANSTRUCTION concept originated in 1993, the exhibition will be held at New York Design Center from Nov. 8-21. Philadelphia's exhibition is scheduled to start April 1, 2008 at Liberty Place.
- Nearly two dozen design firms will participate in the
CANSTRUCTION is a really cool and mind-opening event. And since the cost of admission is just a CAN of food, how CAN you go wrong?
