LERA’s “Towering Above Hunger” procures Amy J. Nanni award from Canstruction NY
Manhattan, NY LERA Consulting Structural Engineers’ (LERA) entry for the 31st installation of Canstruction New York, titled “Towering Above Hunger” has won the inaugural Amy J. Nanni award from Canstruction New York, Inc. The award was given to the most whimsical design.
Like humans, giraffes are social diners. They explore the savannah together in search of nourishment, with some keeping watch for danger while others reach for the leaves at the tops of the trees, ensuring that every member of the herd remains safe and well fed.
Constructed from approximately 3,800 cans of tuna, pink salmon, tomatoes, green beans and spinach, the giraffes represent the need for NYC to come together to protect each other from food insecurity.
Since their first entry in 2002, LERA has won 20 awards and donated over 80,000 canned goods and food items to local charities, helping to feed over 15,000 New Yorkers.
