Our Sukkah’s bloated body and furry innards acoustically, visually and olfactorally separates the Sukkah interior from New York’s exuberance, allowing the naturalized interior atmosphere, views to the sky and the interior space to be enjoyed without distraction. The interior, protected by a thick envelope can become the place of focused celebration, reading and eating where visceral, cerebral, familial or ritual activities can be enjoyed with equal pleasure. From the outside, the primitive anamorphic form allows the Sukkah to sit on various terrains, sloped, stepped and flat. At night its glowing flesh alludes to the activities held within, shadows cast against its walls and noises muffled by thick volumes of air. Its crown, a ring of bamboo stakes held in place by engorged vinyl walls hold a thick cylindrical mat of draped eucalyptus leaves that shade and perfume the interior. The Sukkah is entered through a low opening on one side obscured by a loosely draped interior lining of Spanish moss. This moss is pushed aside and one ducks to enter the Sukkah physically marking the threshold and transporting the entrant to another world far separate from Union Square. Upon entering the Sukkah one’s gaze is drawn upward past the moss-lined interior, through the elliptically twisting eucalyptus leaves to the sky, framed 18 feet above the pillow covered ground. The loosely scattered pillows accommodate the multitude of postures associated with the various activitiesthat occur within the Sukkah.The sukkah’s structure, similar in nature to that of a blowfish is given rigidity through inflation, with the bamboo spikes lifting upward as air fills the lower volumes. These spikes are further held into place by tension lines that begin to form a structure over which the schach, in this case eucalyptus leaves are strung like garlands. The eucalyptus leaves perfume the air and reproduce a shaded groove as they reach high and are hung tightly above the ground. The inflatable skin is semi-translucent conveying interior and exterior information through its walls also allowing the Sukkah to glow at night when lit from the interior.
