Providence, RI – RGB Architects was once again a proud participant of “Canstruction”, an annual design/build competition to benefit the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Local architects, engineers, contractors and students collaborated to construct giant sculptures using canned food, and on April 22 were given awards in the following categories; Juror’s Favorite, Best Use of Labels, Best Meal and Structural Ingenuity, as well as a People’s Choice award for their designs.
Team RGB won awards for Best Use of Labels and the People’s Choice Award with their design of “It IS easy being green” – Kermit the Frog with a solar powered miniature windmill. At 6′-8″ tall the structure was constructed of 5,180 cans, boxes of pasta and water bottles. RGB raised approximately $6,500, all received through fundraising efforts.
