We were at Pearlridge Mall on Wednesday and saw the creative display of storybook scenes using canned goods. It's called Canstruction. All the cans would be donated to the Hawaii Food Bank. There were shopping carts next to each design and people could put in canned food to vote for their favorite for the People's Choice award.
I got this from the AIA (American Institute of Architects) website:
The train is from Harry Potter, of course.
As for myself, my favorite was Curious George. Art says he likes the Wizard of Oz "Can'sas" design best.
We're going to bring mom next time and we'll all bring a can to vote for our favorite. I wonder which one she'll choose.
Which design would you vote for?
I got this from the AIA (American Institute of Architects) website:
"For the 11th year competing teams, lead by architects builders and allied design and engineering professionals, will showcase their talents by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of canned foods. Canstruction® combines the competitive spirit of a design/build competition with a unique way to help feed hungry people."This information was for last year, so this would be the 12th year.
The design on the left is from Wizard of Oz.

How clever! And what a good idea of how to collect cans for the needy.
ReplyDeleteThe Raven makes such a statement, I choose that one. What a great idea, and a fabulous display.

ReplyDeleteWow! Such imagination. It would be hard for me to choose just one.
ReplyDeleteFantastic imaginations at work here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event! I can't pick just one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Can'sas was cute and detailed, but the Stone Soup canstruction makes me want to take it apart to see how they did it. Linda in Cansas.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Linda... I did think about you when I saw that design.
DeleteI CAN say for sure that this is impressive work for a great cause. Oh yes, I CAM.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, artistic and helping people at the same time.
