Architects, designers, builders and engineers created amazing structures out of canned food during the Seventh Annual CanstructionLA design/build contest. The 2013 CanstructionLA event raised over 21,076 pounds of food for the Food Bank and for the first time, the event was held in conjunction with Downtown LA Art Walk.
