Now in its 13th year, the annual CANstruction exhibition is currently on show until Friday (November 11) in the lobbies of the various TD Centre buildings along King Street West (west of Bay). CANstruction is one of the city’s most inventive charity drives in which design teams build monolithic and whimsical structures out of canned goods, all in a single night. The entries are then judged in a range of categories from jurors’ favorite (Angry Birds DefEAT Hunger, above, by Dialog) to structural ingenuity and best use of labels. At week’s end the structures are disassembled and all the cans are donated to Daily Bread Food Bank. A few of my favorite entries are included below . . .
Clockwise from upper left: portrait of Albert Einstein by Delcan Corporation (winner, best use of labels), Shutting Out Hunger (goalie) by Diamond + Schmitt Architects with Blackwell Bowick Partnership Ltd. (winner, structural ingenuity), Feed Me by the Sernas Group Inc., Pac Man by HH Angus & Associates, Hunger is No Fairy Tale (shoe house) by Quadrangle Architects (winner, best meal) and Go Train by Petroff/ARK.
