In this special episode highlighting the 31st Annual CANstruction New York Design and Build Competition, Christian sits down with four leaders behind the incredible cause, including Jennifer Greene, Director of Marketing at Ronnette Riley Architect, Elysa Marden, Senior Vice President of Arts and Events for Brookfield Properties, Jenna Harris, City Harvest’s Associate Director as well as Jessica Sheridan, Principal at Mancini Duffy. The 2023 CANstruction New York exhibit, located at Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan, is open to the public November 2-13. In partnership with City Harvest, New York City’s largest food rescue organization, CANstruction is a unique global charity that hosts a Design and Build competition where teams - consisting of architects, engineers, and their vendors - construct structures solely from unopened cans of food, fitting within an 8x8x8 foot square. Originating in Seattle in 1992 as a simple food drive, the Society for Design Administration (SDA) has transformed it into a global initiative. Today, CANstruction events span 150 cities in 8 countries, contributing over 50 million cans of food to combat hunger.https://www.sdanyc.org/canstruction-ny/https://theantiarchitect.com/
