These sculptures are made entirely from unopened cans of food! At Canstruction in Brookfield Place, you can see just how creative teams get with this everyday building material.
What to expect
Take a closer look: At Canstruction, teams from architecture, engineering, and construction firms turn unopened cans of food into large sculptures. What looks like one continuous shape from a distance is actually made up of individual cans. You can explore the creations throughout Brookfield Place.
And there’s a good cause behind it, too. After the exhibition, the food is donated to City Harvest to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity.
