At “Sukkah City,” Architects Re-Imagine Ancient Structures
Religion • September 2010 • Views: 405
The shortlist of the Sukkah City Competition has just been announced, and in the next week, twelve structures will be built in Union Square Park in New York City, and subjected to a public vote. The competition invites architects to design a small structure based on the “parametric rules” of a traditional Jewish structure built for the harvest. Initiated by Joshua Foer, the competition is a daring initiative, particularly in a time when the locating of faith structures in New York City is under debate.
