Overstory

Chicago, IL

In the same way Sinai Hospital acts as the overstory—the protective layer—for the Lawndale community, this sukkah opens up to the neighborhood on all sides and welcomes us to gather under its elevated canopy. After the Festival, the sukkah will provide a community stoop for Sinai Hospital’s bustling campus. Under the canopy, seating takes a cue from the porches of nearby residential buildings along West 15th Place, offering a new outdoor space where everyone can reflect and gather. Just as the hospital has evolved to meet North Lawndale’s needs, this pavilion aspires to be a backdrop for the lives of those who give and receive care, as well as for the many people who continue to shape the Sinai campus and the broader Lawndale community.

Mexico City

Andres Camacho
Amid months of confinement to our homes, we established new relationships between our bodies, our possessions, and our spaces. Some of us were isolated in spaces that felt cavernous without family and friends. Others struggled to find peace in newly overcrowded spaces. As we return to our more public lives, new questions emerge concerning how we want to live at home, how much of our lives can fit into our limited spaces, and how our changing routines put new pressures on our domestic spaces. What does it mean to find a home that fits?
