Richmond CANstruction 2019
This year Eagle Construction of VA, Eagle Commercial Construction and archi-TEC-tonic worked together to recreate Historic St. John's Church for CANstruction, an annual competition in which architects, engineers, designers and contractors build themed structures using nonperishable food items. After deCANstruction on August 24th, all food will be donated to Feed More.
Dr. Nathan Blinn, director of archi-TEC-tonic, chose Historic St. John's Church to fit 2019's theme of Virginia Historic Places. The church was laser scanned to create a model and plans for CANstruction, and the data from the scans was donated to the Historic St. John's Church Foundation to aid in their preservation and restoration work.
