Designed by Bill Caplin the Cornucopia Sukkah is
a temporary religious structure used during the Jewish Festival Sukkot
and is an entrant in the 2010 New York Sukkah City Design Competition.
The design is a contemporary re-visioning of a traditional structure
which represents a rough wilderness shelter. The sculptural ribbon
serves as human scaled furniture as it winds through the pipe and canvas
shelter. The wooden platform extends from the ground to function as a
seat, table and then a schach, a traditional covering. As it climbs it
take on symbolic value, fulfilling the terms of design by providing
shade but still allowing rain through. Filtered daylight though the
wooden slats become an endless changing abstract against the white
canvas. The building is developed for simple construction and teardown
and uses only three materials in its construction.
