Canstruction® New York

What: Founded by the Society for Design Administration, Canstruction® is a trademarked design/build competition currently held in cities throughout North America and countries around the world. Teams of architects, engineers, and students mentored by these design professionals, compete to design and build giant structures made entirely out of canned foods. 

It takes 8-12 weeks of design time and thousands of cans of food to create a structure that is built in a single night. The results are displayed to the public as magnificent sculpture exhibits in each city where a competition is held. 

The public is invited to donate canned food at the time of the exhibition. At the close of the exhibitions, cans of food are donated to local food banks. 

When: November 2nd -15th 2017, Daily (including weekends), 10 a.m. – 8 p.m, except November 15th when the exhibit closes at 6 p.m. for the dismantling of the structures

Where: Brookfield Place: 230 Vesey St, New York, NY 10281


The exhibit is free to the public; however, we ask all visitors to bring a can of high-quality food to donate to City Harvest. A donation bin will be available on the second level.
