Canstruction® is a very unique food charity that challenges the skills of some of the best engineering and architecture firms across the United States. 

A foundation of the Society for Design Administration (SDA), Canstruction® is a design/build competition currently held in cities throughout North America. Teams of engineers, architects, and students mentored by these professionals, compete to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food. Prizes are awarded for various categories, including Best Use of Labels, Get Mean, and Structural Ingenuity.

The results of these sometimes 12 hour team builds are displayed to the public as amazing sculpture exhibits in each city where a competition is held. At the close of the exhibitions all of the canned food used in the structures is donated to local food banks for distribution to emergency feeding programs that include pantries, soup kitchens, elderly and day care centers. 

Since its inception, ten million pounds of food has been donated to aid in the fight against hunger. Initiated by the Denver, Seattle and New York Chapters of the SDA in 1992/93, Canstruction® now has over one hundred individual competitions scheduled to take place.
