Canstruction

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 the Greater Chicago Food Depository

Canstruction Chicago 2008 will be on display to the public June 6-June 22 at 350 W. Mart Center Drive (Apparel Center).
