pSukkah City is in its inaugural year as a competition challenging designers to address the Sukkah, often thought of simply as a hut. That hut is a traditional shelter that serves as a symbol of the spirituality inherent in where the natural world meets the built world, in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Entrants had some broad points of inspiration to work with in creating their interpretations of the Sukkah, as it serves as a symbol of the harvest and transience vs. permanence. As the Sukkah City site describes, it is an elemental space in which to “share meals, entertain, sleep, and rejoice.”/pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/events/sukkah_city_arrives_in_union_square_17377.asp”(more…)/a
