Canstruction®
An International Community Service Project of the Design and Construction Industry.
Mission: Canstruct a World Without Hunger
Trademarked by the Society for Design Administration, and working in tandem with the American Institute of Architects and other members of the design and construction industry, 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, lead by architects and engineers, 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 local food banks for distribution to pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, elderly and day care centers.A visual feast for the eyes, you will not want to miss the eighty Canstruction® Competitions scheduled to occur in 2008-2009.
