Canstruction

April 27- May 10, 2025

Canstruction is a unique charity art exhibition in which architectural, construction, and engineering teams compete to see who can best defy the laws of gravity by creating structures assembled from canned food. Once the structures have been judged, all food from the competition will be donated to the Foodbank. This year’s Canstruction will once again be held at Lynnhaven Mall.

Competitors for the 2024 competition included AECOM, Clark Nexsen, Moseley Architects, HBA Architecture and Interior Design and Whiting-Turner Contracting HQ. Thank you to all participants, and congratulations to all winners!
