One of the most interesting entries of the competition in Sukkah City in New York, in Union Square was this “hollow” pavilion. Sukkah means temporary accommodation in translation, a cabin with a roof made of branches. The competition was tough as there was a high number of various design limitations and the location is one of the most populous cities in the world. The bungalow is in this case not a shelter from sun and sand but from the bustle of the city, its infrastructure, tumult and it becomes a sanctuary from the whole world. The aim was to create something diametrically different from the surroundings, creation of a space which automatically slows down your pace and changes your behavior. The contestants designed a pavilion with a corrugated ceiling which is never higher than a man. The overall dimensions limit the movements of people. The light penetrating the walls of different thickness also has a relaxing effect.
