Two youngsters check out 'We Come in Peas,' a construction of cans of peas and mushrooms, left, and beans, tuna and sardines, Thursday, Nov. 10, 2005, at 'Canstruction,' the 13th annual NYC Design and Build competition in New York. Architects and engineers compete to see whose team can build the most spectacular structure using little more than cans of food.
