Canstruction
New York City is joined by over 100 cities across North America and other countries such as Australia and New Zealand who will hold Canstruction® Competitions in the coming year. Highlighting the creativity and compassion of top architectural and engineering firms, these astounding structures are helping to change the world �by lifting the spirits of those in need, by raising public awareness, and most importantly, by collecting millions of pounds of food for local food banks. Our most recent New York City Competition and Exhibition in the Winter Garden of the World Financial Center, 220 Vesey Street and the West Side Highway just recently ended. All structures were on view from November 12 �November 23, 2009. We thank everyone who came to the exhibit and brought a can of food to donate to City Harvest. We are very pleased to announce the winners of the 17th Annual Canstruction New York Competition 2009.
