Cantastic Can Creativity @ NYDC

2005_11_canmetrocard.jpg

Check out these ridiculouly cool can sculptures on display Canstruction exhibit at the New York Design Center (via Thrillist.) Not only are the sculptures mind-blowingly cool, it turns out they are for a good cause:

Canstruction® combines the competitive spirit of a design/build competition with a unique way to help feed hungry people. Competing teams, lead by architects and engineers, showcase their talents by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of canned foods. At the close of the exhibitions all of the food used in the structures is donated to local food banks for distribution to pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, elderly and day care centers.

Details: November 10 - 23, 2005, Mon-Sat, 9AM-5PM @ New York Design Center, 200 Lexington Avenue @ 32nd Street.
