This Canstruction entry was inspired by Daft Punk’s hit Around the World.

Triovest Realty Advisors, a national commercial real estate investment and management company, completed its premier entry in Canstruction Vancouver 2014 recently. A team made up of volunteers from Triovest, PCI Group, Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership (MCMP) and Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd. (RJC) completed a Daft Punk-inspired sculpture.

Over 20 teams of professional designers, architects and engineers battled it out to complete magnificent, larger-than-life sculptures in just seven hours, using only canned food and their imagination. Once the sculptures were taken down, all of the food was donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. Canstruction Vancouver 2014 raised 65,000 cans of food for donation, adding to the over 1.3 million cans donated over the history of the event.

The “Can-tastic Four’s” Daft Punk-inspired booth took four and a half hours to complete and included 9,276 cans of food including tuna and tomato sauce. In addition to the hours volunteers spent getting ready for the build, PCI, MCMP and RJC donated $1,500 each to the team – on top of the $3,000 that Triovest has committed.

“Draft Punk’s hit Around the World, inspired our entry,” says Adam Cochrane, director of development and construction at Triovest. “Our team sees Canstruction as a motivating event where people gather, collaborate and create for the benefit of others.”
