"50’s Diner"
Structural Ingenuity

.

Structural Ingenuity
“50’s Diner”
3,298 cans

Our structure is a life-size cross-section of a 50’s American diner counter. The structure features all the items that appear on a typical 1950’s diner countertop. "A classic diner is something we thought could convey the idea of food at a very basic level," team member Shan MacNaughton said. "I think that art is a very powerful medium for expressing ideas and can be political as well. In a country as wealthy as the United States of America, it’s appalling how many people go hungry every day. Its projects like these that help raise the awareness of the general public."
