For two consecutive years, student teams lead by Emily Baker designed and built Sukkahs with funding from the local Hillel Student Organization on Tulane University’s campus. A sukkah is a temporary construction built and used during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Student teams developed their designs by first exploring the potentials afforded by various materials and material processes. Overall schemes were designed and constructed within a 3 to 5 week period and installed on campus for one week. This bottom up design approach lead to novel formal and structural solutions not likely to have arisen otherwise.
