November 6 The University of Miami School of Architecture’s Center for Urban & Community Design (CUCD) is teaming up with the Coral Gables Museum to present South Florida’s version of the nationwide design/build competition known as Canstruction. Students, faculty, staff and/or alumni will be competing for the title of “Best Canstruction” by using cans of food to build a creative structure of their choice. The event will be held on Friday, November 6 from 12 – 2:30 p.m. at the School of Architecture Courtyard, 1223 Dickinson Drive, Coral Gables Campus. The panel of jurors includes Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk; Sonia Chao, Director of the CUCD; Stephen Klindt, Director of the Coral Gables Museum; Mike Brazlavsky, Executive Director of AIA Miami; Natividad Soto, President of AIA Miami; and Karen Mahar, Director of Camillus House. Teams may bring their donation of cans to the event or drop them off ahead of time inside the School of Architecture’s main office, computer lab and lecture hall. Other locations include the residence halls. Those who wish to solely contribute to the food drive may use the same drop-off areas or contact the CUCD office to arrange pick-up. Cans will be distributed evenly based on the number of teams registered. After the competition, all cans will be donated to local families in need through Camillus House.
