BFPL Complex (Various Locations)
Canstruction is coming back to Brookfield Place this fall! The beloved annual design competition challenges teams of architects, engineers, and contractors to build sculptures made entirely out of unopened cans of food. The large-scale sculptures are displayed in an exhibition open to the public and later donated to City Harvest to help feed those in need.
There are a variety of ways to engage with Canstruction, including a live build, tours, an activity worksheet for youngsters, and more!
Stay tuned for more information!
LOCATION:
Canstruction takes place throughout Brookfield Place, which is located at 230 Vesey Street in Lower Manhattan. Visit the Information Table in the Winter Garden at BFPL to donate cans of food and learn more.
SCHEDULE:
+ Live Build: Thursday, October 29 | 10am – 6pm (approx. 6 – 8 hrs)
+ Exhibition on view: Friday, October 30 – Monday, November 9 | 10am – 7pm, daily
(Note: Canstruction will end at 6pm on the final night of the exhibition.)
