DC CANstruction - National Building Museum 8/31-9/07

The annual CANstruction event will be taking place at the National Building Museum this year, from August 31st to September 7th.  The design competition allows local firms to show off their prowess building with canned goods while benefiting the Capital Area Food Bank as all of the food will be donated after the event.

AYAC's own Kathleen Smith is competing with her firm Michael Baker Jr. this year with their version of Diller Scofidio + Renfro's addition for the Hirshhorn Musuem.

You can participate in the event by visiting the museum during the first week of September, or by donating money to the Capital Area Food Bank on behalf any of the teams.  Donations go directly to the food bank and do not cover the cost of each team's structure, but donations do act as votes in the People's Choice Award, one of the categories this year.  Please use the links below for more information and to donate:
