Canstruction 2026 will take place at the National Building Museum from Sunday, November 22nd, 2026 to Monday, November 30th, 2026.

About Canstruction: 

Canstruction is a nationwide program that aims to raise awareness about hunger. In DC, Canstruction is organized by the Washington Architectural Foundation as a creative design-build competition that benefits the Capital Area Food Bank through donations of canned goods. Teams from architecture and design firms from Washington, DC use their skills to build sculptures out of cans of food which are displayed for a week in the Great Hall of the National Building Museum. The nutritious shelf-stable food is donated to the CAFB for distribution to those in need after the event.

This program is generously sponsored by Capital Area Food Bank, DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, Giant, National Building Museum, DPR Construction, and Washington Architectural Foundation.

Thank you to our sponsors:

Join us for a guided tour of Phase One of the Bridge District, a landmark mixed-use development in Southeast Washington, DC, led by ZGF Architects and Redbrick LMD. Located at the foot of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, the project sits within a historically underinvested area now targeted for broader neighborhood revitalization—linking the Capitol Riverfront with communities south and east of the Anacostia River.

Phase One is an all-electric development on track to become the largest ILFI Zero Carbon multifamily residential building in the world, while also pursuing LEED v4 Platinum. The project delivers over 750 residential units, including affordable and family-sized housing, alongside 40,000 square feet of community serving retail with active ground floors on all four sides. The three-tower composition is shaped to maximize daylight, views, natural airflow, and connections to adjacent parks and trails, positioning wellness, flexibility, and public life as key design drivers. Solar informed massing and glazing, renewable energy sourcing, and life-cycle based material decisions support significant reductions in both operational and embodied carbon.

This tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at how integrated design, performance, and community investment can align to set a new precedent for scalable, inclusive, high-performance development in Washington, DC.
We will gather at Atlas Brewing for a light lunch and presentation before the guided tour, then wrap up with a networking happy hour back at Atlas. We encourage arriving by foot, bike, or public transit. The Bridge District is accessible from Anacostia Metro Station, Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and Anacostia Park.
