WHO:

This is a deliciously inventive charity of the design and construction industry (benefitting North Texas Food Bank) created by the Society for Design Administration working in tandem with the American Institute of Architects.

 

WHAT:

Canstruction® combines the competitive spirit of a design/build competition with a unique way to help feed hungry people. Competing teams, led by architects and engineers, showcase their talents by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of canned foods.

WHERE:

NorthPark Center

8687 North Central Expressway

Dallas, Texas 75225

 

WHEN:

Teams will build their structures on Saturday, September 6th from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  The structures will be on display Saturday, September 6th through Sunday, September 14th.
