Redesigning Sukkot in New York City<\/a>: “\"<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

As part of the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot, many Jews build sukkot<\/em>, huts that are reminders of the ancient Israelites’ nomadic dwellings. My friend Josh Foer of Atlas Obscura co-organized a design competition in New York City to radically re-imagine these temporary structures while still following the traditional design and ritual constraints. Twelve finalists will build their high-concept sukkot in Union Square on September and 19 and 20. The ‘People’s Choice’ winner will then be on view until October 2. All of the amazingly creative, avant-garde designs can now be viewed on the Sukkah City site. Seen here at top left is ‘Gathering<\/a>,’ by Dale Suttle, So Sugita, and Ginna Nguyen, New York. Top right is ‘Fractured Bubble<\/a>‘ by Henry Grosman and Babak Bryan. Below those two finalists is one of the 600 entries, titled ‘Hashkiveinu<\/a>,’ from my architecture student nephew Ari Pescovitz, Kyle Campbell. and Chad Gleason. I’m admittedly biased, but I dig their idea to use CNC machining and prefabrication to make their sukkot a kit. Congratulations all who entered! I’d be thrilled to enjoy a harvest meal in any of these marvelous shelters.<\/p>\n
