29th Annual Design/Build Competition
Canstruction Houston’s Public Viewing of structures: November 9, 2025 – November 15, 2025
Canstruction Houston’s Build Day: November 8, 2025
Architects, engineers, designers, contractors and students work in teams to design and build colossal sculptures using canned and other shelf-stable food as their primary building block. Tape and cardboard serve as nails and cement. The colors and designs on food product labels form the artists’ pallet. “Bricks” come in a variety of sizes from the smallest tuna can to the industrial-size tomato can. Food used to build each structure is donated to Houston Food Bank.
