CANstruction 2021


Hey Winston-Salem! We want YOU to create a team for our fall event!

CANstruction’s mission is to provide hunger relief assistance by collecting canned food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC while promoting the design, creative, and construction fields. CANstruction culminates in a competition and public exhibition showcasing creative, large-scale installations designed and constructed entirely out of full cans of food. Participants include teams of architects, engineers, contractors, designers, and students attending schools of architecture, engineering, and design.

AIA Winston-Salem is now seeking competitors to register teams to compete in Winston-Salem during fall 2021. Each team is responsible for a $300.00 registration fee, providing the canned food, and designing and building the installation.  All canned food and money raised by the event will go towards supporting the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Please use this SURVEY to express your interest in creating a team for this event..
