Description:
Visit Union Square Park on Sunday, September 19th and Monday, September 20th when twelve finalists will have their work displayed on the South Plaza as part of the inaugural Sukkah City: New York City architectural competition.
Finalists were selected from over 600 entries from around the world by a panel of celebrated architects, designers, and critics and the winning designs will be on display together to create a visionary village that will re-imagine the ancient phenomenon of the sukkah structure and propose radical possibilities for traditional design constraints in a contemporary urban site.
One structure will be chosen by the public to stand and delight throughout the week-long festival holiday of Sukkot as the People’s Choice Sukkah of New York City. The process and results of the competition, along with construction documentation and critical essays, will be published in the forthcoming book Sukkah City: Radically Temporary Architecture for the Next Three Thousand Years.
