    Default Canstruction 2009

    My office participated in Canstruction again this year. Canstruction is an annual event all over the country. Design and construction firms enter using unopened food items to create their theme. All food is donated to the local food bank.

    We met weekly for the last month or so to plan our build. The actual construction date was last Thursday night and we had a good time putting this together.

    We won the "Juror's Choice" award with our version of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. (Our firm was the architect for the real stadium).

    I wanted to show off, so here's a photo of our construction.

    I'm the chubby chick in red.

    That is pretty awesome Jali, though for the record you are neither chubby nor in red in that picture.

    How are the cans held together? What formed the two long arches? spaghetti boxes?

    Thanks WhatExit!

    Those are spaghetti boxes. We had to insert wedges between boxes to make the arches. We used clear tape to hold them together.

    I made the lollypop football players - The Cowboys vs The Falcons.
