In October, the Chicago Sukkah Design Festival opened for its second cycle. The festival brought together community organizations and architectural designers to construct new interpretations of sukkahs in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood, in James Stone Freedom Square (3615 W Douglas Blvd).

Sukkah是犹太人在住棚节期间搭建的一种临时性的户外建筑，用于庆祝秋季的丰收，以及摆脱奴役的历史。芝加哥Sukkah设计节的举办旨在以富有创意的方式，将这些通常被看做是临时性的建筑重新利用起来，并在新的环境中构建社区。它还颂扬了当地社区的文化遗产，在曾经居住于North Lawndale的犹太人群体、现在生活于此的黑人社区以及更广泛的芝加哥社区之间建立了联系的纽带。
Sukkahs are the temporary outdoor structures that are used during Sukkot, an autumnal Jewish holiday that celebrates the harvest and commemorates the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery. The Chicago Sukkah Design Festival celebrates how these usually temporary structures can be repurposed to build community in new contexts. It also celebrates the cultural heritage of the neighborhood and builds solidarity among the Jewish community that formerly lived in North Lawndale, the predominantly Black community that resides there today, and the broader Chicago community.

芝加哥Sukkah设计节创办人Joseph Altshuler表示：“节日开幕时的盛况令人欣喜，它所传达的能量将帮助加强Sukkah建筑的重要性，并以和平的方式将不同社区团结在一起。设计节本身是关于设计素养、社会正义与社区未来的，而Sukkah的二次生命也有着同等的意义。节日结束后，这些Sukkah建筑将成为其设计者（社区团体）的永久活动场所。从这个意义上看，Sukkah设计节比许多典型的设计节更具可持续性和深度，并能促进更有意义的变革。” “The energy from the opening weekend was palpable and helped to solidify the power of the significance of the sukkah and how design can peacefully bring different communities together,” says Joseph Altshuler, founder of The Chicago Sukkah Design Festival. “The festival itself is about design literacy, social justice, and neighborhood futuring, yet the second life of the sukkah is of equal importance. After the festival closes, the sukkahs will become permanent program spaces for the community groups that co-designed them. This is an effort to make the typical design festival more sustainable, more profound, and more meaningful as a change agent.”

来自芝加哥的6个设计团队被委任与当地社区团体合作，共同设计一个能够反映社会正义、反种族主义以及社区未来发展等主题的Sukkah。在设计和建造的过程中，参与者培养了自身的设计素养和构建场景的技能。在节日期间，独特的建筑景观与关注社区参与的公共项目共同作用，将犹太、非洲、非裔美国人和许多其他移民文化传统结合在一起。
Six Chicago design teams were selected to work collaboratively with local community groups to design a sukkah that reflects themes of social justice, anti-racism, and neighborhood futuring. The process of designing and building the sukkahs empower participants to develop skills in design literacy and worldmaking. During the festival, the landscape of unique structures is active with public programs that consider the role of community-engaged design and that bring together Jewish, African, African-American, and many other migratory cultural traditions.

艺术节之后，每座sukkah都会搬迁并永久性地安装在社区设施中，成为充满活力的新项目空间，例如花园凉棚、屋顶游戏装置、遗产博物馆、冥想亭、社区纪念空间和工具仓库等。
After the Festival, each sukkah is relocated and permanently re-installed at the facilities of the community organizations that co-designed them, as vibrant new program spaces; for example, as a garden pergola, rooftop playscape, heritage museum, meditation pavilion, community memorial, and tool library.
