sukkah shitty.

john, liz herber, and i went to see the sukkahs in union square yesterday. they were mostly disappointing, often looking very little like their renderings. i suppose that's to be expected. from what i can tell, the 12 finalists were given $10,000 to construct their proposals. anyway, here are some pixies.

this one, called the shim sukkah, was unanimously our favorite construction.

come on.

this team used a portion of their stipend to buy signs made by homelesses. nice idea.

pretty strings.

this'n looked like something a cat coughed up on the outside, but the plants suspended inside were very pretty. 

you can just click here to see all the finalists' proposals, and vote too if you want too.
