Sukkah City Competition
Orna-mate Shadows is a competition entry for a temporary religious pavilion, known as a Sukkah, built during the Jewish festival of Sukkot in New York City’s Union Square Park. Governed by Jewish law, a strict set of rules covering everything from the type of materials used to the size and proximity of walls set the constraints for the Sukkah’s design. Our design uses these constraints to create a place of reflection and celebration highlighted by a production of complex atmospheric effects that express the transience of light and shadow.
