The food bank, that is.  This is from a sculpture contest.  The rule: everything had to be made entirely from canned foodstuffs.  The canned food is to be donated to a food bank in LA.

TENTACLE SPECTACLE: “A Call to Arms” used 4,100 cans in 2005. After L.A.’s upcoming competition, structures will be disassembled and cans given to Los Angeles Regional Foodbank.
(Kevin Wick)

The article in LA Times explains:

Since it was established in New York in 1992 by the Society for Design Administration, Canstruction has taken place in more than 70 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Its ulterior motive is to address the needs of the hungry.

"It's great that the project is fun for everybody, but ultimately it's about how many cans we get delivered to the food bank," says Damian Carroll, chairman of Canstruction Los Angeles. He's also a field representative for Pasadena Democratic state Sen. Jack Scott's office, one of this year's organizers, along with the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles and the Society for Design Administration.
