A Human Sukkah: Come shelter and be sheltered under the sun and the
stars.
Can
an ephemeral dwelling forge a lasting impression? We believe it
can. No shelter can be more temporary or precious than one composed of
our own brethren. The common threads of culture and ritual are what
connects us to our past, what binds us to our collective history. By the
same token, the companion forces of modernity and urbanity are what scatter us.
We are, then, paradoxically transient and permanent, homeless and rooted.
A
Human Sukkah is both timely and timeless – a reflection of this duality, but it
is not a monument. It does the most with the least, leaving as little
waste as possible. It is vital and resonant, dynamic and conscientious.
A
Human Sukkah invites people of all ages, creeds and colors to commune with one
another and experience not only the gift of shelter, but of giving
shelter. It invites participants to disarm themselves and partake in a
common ritual that transcends cultural boundaries: the gathering and
sharing of the harvest, the remembrance of our agrarian past, the recognition
of the fragility of our existence.
A Human Sukkah does not exist for its own sake, it exists
for the sake of others. It is not indifferent to its inhabitants; it
cherishes them. It is an ephemeral dwelling that will forge a lasting
impression on the people of New York City.Why This Project Deserves to Win:
It's the only sukkah in the entire competition (as far as we can tell) that
deploys actual people as the architectural enclosure...what can be more
"radically ephemeral" than that?Project Team:
