Level
How do you tell if people are serious about their entry? They check the level if the floor with spirit levels before they start building!!!
Can do or can’t do
Some teams are missing parts or their entire supplies due to a missing truck.
But they have a can-do attitude!
Sustenance
While we build, we need food.
Catching up
Our old buddies Halcrow are here. Soon they will be known by a different name…
Still nice to meet you all again!!!
Small hitch…
So it turns out that we cannot actually post any pics while the teams are building since it is a competition…
Bummer. But we will comply with “unknown pr person’s” request.
There are pics galore but only after 7am tomorrow morning when the competition is officially over.
In the meantime enjoy the pics of the boxes & cones.

Live for CANSTRUCTION!
It is Canstruction time of year again. To briefly re-cap, Canstruction is the annual design competition for a good cause. In over 100 cities around the world, architecture and engineering professionals come together and build massive structures entirely of food cans!
Prizes are awarded in categories of Best Meal, Best Use of labels and Structural Ingenuity. In NYC this event is held in the World Financial Centre where the works are on display starting tomorrow Nov 10th, 2011 until Nov 21st 2011. At the end of the competition, the sculptural structures are dismantled and the cans are donated to City Harvest for distribution to those in need.
We will be blogging LIVE from Canstruction 2011 from 6pm Eastern TODAY while the teams build their structures so check out updates here.
