Canstruction


“A Cup of Hope” by RJC Architects


Canstruction is a competition/charity where design teams of architects, engineers, graphic designers, and students compete to build sculptures entirely out of cans of food. Each structure stands 8’x 10’x 10’ and conceptually addresses metaphors that come to mind when dealing with issues of hunger. The sculptures are displayed in hopes of raising public awareness, judged, disassembled, and distributed. So far 10 million pounds of food has been donated and disbursed to food banks, soup kitchens and local charities. It’s a great organization that delivers a powerful message in a creative way. These competitions are held in a number of states across the country, including Massachusetts.
