Members of the public are invited to participate in CANstruction® by voting for their favorite canned food structures.
KAHALA (KITV4) – AIA Honolulu’s 16th Annual CANstruction® competition featuring the RMA Architects Team returns to Kahala Mall with the buildout of the projects.
Eight teams of local architects and allied design and engineering professionals put their design and building skills to the test as they creatively “CANstruct” dynamic 3D structures – each made entirely of several thousand cans of food – in AIA Honolulu’s 16th Annual CANstruction® competition
Over the past 13 years, CANstruction® has raised 592,725 pounds of critical canned food for the Hawaii Foodbank – enough for 466,713 meals for the hungry in our community.
All the cans of food used for the projects by the eight participating teams will be donated to Hawaii Foodbank and the public will be voting for a People’s Choice award for a week following the build, with every entry requiring a money donation to Hawaii Foodbank per vote.
Structures made entirely of canned foods serve not only as a donation to the Hawaii Foodbank but also as a collection of positive and motivational creations as we move towards a healthier, resilient, and more vibrant community. AIA Honolulu teams truly believe Hawaii’s design and construction industry CAN rally around this year’s theme to reflect the true value of generosity essential to our local communities and the bright days ahead!
Members of the public are invited to participate in CANstruction® by voting for their favorite canned food structures.
Completed structures will be on display for People’s Choice voting from Sunday, Oct. 17 through Saturday, Oct. 23.
The public can vote at: https://www.aiahonolulu.org/page/2021CanstructionCompetition_Vote, or by scanning the QR Code at each structure.
For People Choice voting, each vote is a donation to the Hawaii Food Bank ($1 = 1 vote). The CANstruction® structure that receives the most votes will be named People’s Choice Award winner.
The public is encouraged to stop by the mail during the installment to see these beautiful creations and to vote on the very best to designate the People’s Choice Award.
