Baker Barrios Architects recently participated in the 18th
annual CANstruction Orlando competition, in partnership with Winter Park
Construction and FDG Creative.
The team used more than 2,100 cans of food to create the
only interactive exhibition presented in this year’s competition – an active
Quick Response code. Nearly 4,000 pounds of food including spaghetti boxes,
spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, mushroom stems, parmesan cheese, fruit and
vegetables went into completing the structure.
“The concept for this year’s sculpture emphasizes that the
key to ending hunger is in our hands,” said Shanon Larimer, vice president of
global marketing for Baker Barrios Architects. “Smartphone users are able to
‘scan and click’ the code which will direct viewers to a dedicated mobile
website where they can learn more about Central Florida’s hunger situation and
make a donation.”
CANstruction, a charity committed to ending world hunger,
holds competitions around the nation in which teams compete by designing and
building structures made entirely out of canned foods. Those canned goods are
then donated to local charities-in this case, to the Second Harvest Food Bank
of Central Florida.
