hugon kowalski: sukkah city


'O' - sukkah city by hugon kowalski


polish architecture student hugon kowalski of UGO architecture and design has sent
us images of his proposal for the sukkah city competition. participants were asked
to design a contemporary sukkah – a temporary hut created for an annual jewish harvest
festival in new york.
 
kowalski wanted to create a form as flexible as possible to make sure that the sukkah
could be placed everywhere. they also wanted to make their sukkah mobile - hence why
they decided on the form of sphere.

‘O’ was built from zip-ties produced from biodegradable plastic created from corn.
this particular building material allowed flexibility during construction. stored inside
the sukkah is a folding table, puff-chairs and a sleeping bag.
