  Calling all CANchitects and CANgineers! Assemble your build team and help us Demolish Hunger, Design Hope in this year's PensaCAN competition. 

  PensaCAN is a competition where teams create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. Following a week-long display of the structures and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

  Registration is open to ANYONE...architects, intern architects, engineers, designers, contractors, local businesses, professors, teachers, students, or anybody, anywhere, that wants to form a team and help the local community.

  Do not have a team but still want to build? Register as an individual and we will match you up with a team!

  The display and on-site location is the Cordova Mall, but off-site and digital builds can take place anywhere (just follow the directions/requirements on the Info Packet Coversheet and Judging Guidelines...both downloadable below). 

  Awards will be presented in eight categories. 

  Not a builder but still want to help? Great sponsorships are available (read on below), or you can make a donation HERE (use the "in honor of" field and type "PensaCAN").

  Help us break 20,000 meals this year!

  Builder Information:

  • View the PensaCAN Info Packet Coversheet HERE.
  • View the 2026 Judging & Awards Guidelines HERE.
  • Food Item List is available HERE.

  ***Teams are welcome to purchase their food from any vendor. However, if you want the food picked up by Manna and delivered directly to Cordova Mall on Build Day, you must use the attached food items list and order form.

• Small Firm Exchange

  • When

  Small firms represent a significant portion of the Panhandle's architectural landscape. However, the diverse roles that small firm owners and employees often take on can lead to their interests being overlooked and their contributions undervalued. This collaborative event aims to connect small firms to discuss their needs and create a supportive environment for social interaction and collaboration—an opportunity often taken for granted in larger firms.

  Our Goals:

  1. Advocate for Small Firms: We aim to promote the value of small firms both within the AIA and to the public, advancing the mutual interests of architects practicing in smaller settings.
  2. Foster Idea Exchange: We seek to establish a safe space for sharing ideas and information, helping all small firms thrive and discover new ways to engage clients.
  3. Build a Collaborative Community: We envision a community where small firms can come together socially, discuss challenges and successes, and collaborate on projects or designs when a single firm may find a task too daunting.

  Join us for this discussion to explore how we can strengthen our community and elevate our collective goals and interests.

  Enhancing Outdoor Living - Current Trends

  & The Role of Aluminum Shade Structures

  
  

  1 HSW/LU

  
  

  Course Description

  This course delves into the increasing and expanding role of outdoor living and its importance in households, businesses, and communities. Reviewed are the styles and specification considerations of aluminum shading products. The focus is pergolas and cabanas, made with insulated, dual-walled aluminum louvers that seal completely to block rain and snow and complement any architectural style.

  Learning Objectives:

  • Examine the current trends in outdoor living, including using outdoor spaces as an extension of indoor activities like socializing, cooking, and entertaining.
  • State how modern aluminum cover structures for residential and commercial applications have been adapted to bioclimatic designs that leverage an eco-conscious approach.
  • Discuss the role of pergolas and cabanas in expanding livable spaces, enhancing year-round outdoor living, and improving occupant comfort and wellness.
  • Describe the materials, styles, and specification considerations for shade structures to ensure a durable, low-maintenance, long-lasting solution.
