CANstruction

Teams of architects create structures out of canned and packaged foods during this annual design/build competition. A week-long exhibit of these clever structures shows the design community's ingenuity and helps underscore the need to fight hunger in the Washington area. At the end of the week, the structures are "de-CANstructed" and donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. CANstruction has donated more than 150 tons of food in the last eight years.

Rippeteau Architects has participated for over 8 years and Darrel Rippeteau has chaired the event for 3 years.

Please come out and see the CANstruction displays of this year. They will be displayed from Sunday, September 16th through Saturday September 29th at 2000 Pennsylvania Ave, NW. Hope to see you there!
