About this event
At the 12th annual Capital Region Canstruction design/build competition, talented teams of architects, designers, builders, and engineers will join forces to create innovative and gravity-defying structures embodying the theme, “New York State of Mind!” The structures will be made entirely of canned food, instead of bricks, stone, glass, and other traditional building materials.
Benefitting The Food Pantries for the Capital District, these structures will be on display at Crossgates from April 18, 2023 – May 1, 2023. This will be the first in-person competition since 2020 and the first time it is being hosted at Crossgates.
Visitors are encouraged to bring canned goods (tuna, beans, canned vegetables, soups/chilis, and fruit) to Crossgates Mall and participate in the Canstruction competition and food drive. Visitors can use their canned goods as ballots to vote for the winner of the People’s Choice award. A jury of designers, local business owners, and local dignitaries will also judge the structures.
