Organized by a collaboration of design industry leaders and AIA Los Angeles, Canstruction LA invites teams of prominent Los Angeles architects, engineers, and designers to create exciting exhibits made entirely of cans of food, to be put on public display and awarded prizes by a panel of judges. Prizes include "Juror's Favorite," "Best Meal," "Best Use of Labels," and "Structural Ingenuity." At the event's completion, the cans are donated to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Canstruction - produced under the auspices of the Society for Design Administration - has been held in over 100 cities across the United States and Canada. Over the last three years Canstruction LA has raised over 197,525 cans of food for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. In 2009 Canstruction LA took place at the Ratkovich Building, across from LACMA. Examples of works from contests in other cities can be found at www.canstruction.org.
It starts with one can.
