Yes we CAN end hunger in New York. This year Brookfield place is hosting New York City’s most unique food charity-canstruction design/build. The ingenious competition culminates teams of inventive architects, engineers and students dedicated to creating artful structures using un-open food cans. These beautiful feats of creative compassion are put on display for the public to admire. These structures are then judged by local officials and a winner is declared.

Once the exhibition comes to an end, each art design is deconstructed and the cans are donated to City Harvest, an organization that aids in feeding New York’s hungry. This years 22nd annual Canstruction Design/Build exhibition resides in the lobby of 250 Brookfield Place, a spacious and naturally lit area that spotlights these charitable creations. The exhibition began November 6th and runs until November 20th.
