The ever name changing collective of imhotep 2021, and meat pallet have been reimagined as Global Sand Architekten, and submitted an entry to the Sukkah City competition. The sukkah city team is Vivien, Hannah, Justin, and Myself. In short the sukkah is a temporary structure used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is a harvest festival. Each year there is a sukkah built in Union Square, this year there was a design competition for it, and 12 will be built.
Our non-winning entry involved a lace cube, some falsified ruins, and floating trees. It was somewhat hectic putting this board together. Judging by the winners designs shown on the internet, we were way off with our design language, laughably off. Regardless, I like how it turned out, and hopefully the winners can get these things built correctly, because if so I think Sukkah City will be pretty amazing event.

how come no one ever does cool stuff like this in our country??? damn, we are so f’ing boring.
I want to talk about your post a little more later, but have you seen any other “architecture comics”. I tended to an exhibition at the LA Forum of Wes Jones’ Meet the Nelsons, a rather high brow comic of architecture in the early nineties, referencing derrida et al. in a setting of surreal slice of life suburbia. there’s also some pretty great architecture comic work on archinetc but I couldn’t find it again, and some super random ones here http://www.bigheadpress.com/thearchitect and here http://minisuck.comicgenesis.com/d/20060517.html…
