Guest speaker: Joshua Foer

In September 2010, Union Square Park in New York City was transformed by Sukkah City, a radical architectural design competition reimagining the ancient Jewish ritual structure, the sukkah. Conceived by Joshua Foer and Roger Bennett, the project invited leading architects and designers from around the world to reimagine what a sukkah could be. Out of more than 600 submissions from 43 countries, a jury of architects, critics, and artists selected 12 winning designs that were constructed and exhibited for two days in Union Square. Sukkah City sparked widespread media coverage and was hailed as a landmark experiment in bringing ancient tradition into dialogue with modern creativity.

Journalist and entrepreneur Joshua Foer is the author of the international bestseller Moonwalking with Einstein, which has been published in 37 languages, and which was a finalist for the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books. His writing has appeared in the New Yorker, National Geographic, the New York Times Magazine, Esquire, and other publications. He is the co-founder and chairman of Atlas Obscura, and the co-author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders.
