SUKKAH CITY NYC 2010: VARIATION 1
Competition Entry, SukkahCity NYC 2010; Fall 2010
Captains: Clint Langevin, Amy Norris
The strict rectilinear form of the traditional sukkah is encapsulated in the structural frame, but mapped onto a new shape that responds to features of the Union Square site.
The re-mapped frame acts as a scaffold for mobile interior wall panels that constitute the new configurable thick wall of the sukkah. In this way, the rigid grid structure becomes the platform for variety, convenience, and entertainment inside the sukkah.
The need to reconfigure the sukkah's interior spaces engenders community and cooperation and allows a degree of individual expression through customization.
