Sukkah City was an Architectural design competition〔("Gimme shelter: Architects, reimagined the sukkah," ) Christopher Hawthorne, August 19, 2010, Los Angeles Times.〕 and work of installation art planned in partnership with the Union Square Partnership for New York City's Union Square Park in September 2010. A committee of art critics and architects selected 12 winners from a field of over 600 entries. The twelve winning sukkot were constructed at Brooklyn's Gowanus Studio Space, and driven by truck to Union Square Park for display on September 19 and 20 from dawn to dusk.〔("'Sukkah City' Design Winners Announced," 08-20-2010, Brooklyn Eagle. )〕 The design chosen as "the people's choice" stood, starting on September 22, for the requisite seven days of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.〔("A Sukkah Bound For New York; A Competition Opens and Designers Enter," ) Samuel Gruber, Published June 23, 2010, issue of July 02, 2010, Forward.〕 Some entries were also selected for display at the Center for Architecture in New York City during the month of September.〔 The competition was the brainchild of journalist Joshua Foer〔("Holiday Tradition Meets Modern Design," ) Pia Catton, June 8m 2010, Wall Street Journal.〕 and Roger Bennett. It was sponsored by (Reboot ), an organization that aims to catalyze innovation in Jewish culture, rituals, and traditions.〔〔(Reboot webpage. )〕 A sukkah is the name given to a structure described in Torah. The Children of Israel were instructed to annually commemorate their Exodus from Egypt by dwelling for seven days every autumn in temporary structures reminiscent of those in which they lived during their 40 years of wandering in the desert before settling in the Land of Israel. Many Jews continue this practice to this day, and Sukkah City aims to re-imagine the sukkah in contemporary design.〔(Sukkah City Webpage. )〕 The competition was to be documented in a book, ''Sukkah City: Radically Temporary Architecture for the Next 3000 Years,'' and some of the designs were exhibited in the Center for Architecture in New York City in September, 2010.〔 However, the book has yet to be published. Sukkah City, a documentary about the event, by Jason Hutt, is currently available at First Run Features. ==The competition== The competition was launched with an announcement in May 2010. By June hundreds of architects, artists and designers had entered.〔 The deadline for entries was August 1, 2010.〔 The jury included Rick Bell, Executive Director of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Geoff Manaugh, a senior editor at ''Dwell'' magazine, architecture critic Paul Goldberger designer Ron Arad, architect Thom Mayne, winner of the Pritzker Prize, Michael Arad, Allan Chochinov, Matias Corea, Steven Heller, Natalie Jeremijenko, Maira Kalman, Thomas de Monchaux, Ada Tolla and Adam Yarinsky.〔〔〔("Sukkah City," ) Sam Grawe, Dwell, 30 May 2010.〕 The rabbinic adviser was Dani Passow.〔()〕 Co-organizer Joshua Foer expects the entries to range from "the latest in digital fabrication to handmade craft techniques."〔 During the period when the 12 winners stood in the park, visitors were able to vote for their favorite design.〔("Reimagining Ancient Architecture," ) Virginia Prescott, June 29, 2010, New Hampshire Public Radio.〕 The "people's choice award" sukkah was entitled ''Fractured Bubble,''and was designed by Long Island City architects Henry Grosman and Babak Bryan.〔("Traditional Sukkahs Reinterpreted at Union Square in NY," Tim McDevitt, September 21, 2010, Epoch times. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sukkah City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
