​

Commissioned on the occasion of Sukkot by the National Building Museum and the Edlavitch DCJCC in Washington DC, Minyan is a prayer pavilion that distills the traditional structure of a Sukkah into essential components: chairs, table and roof. Ten tall chairs, symbolizing the Judaic Minyan, define the Sukkah's interior while supporting a verdant canopy from which a dining table delicately hangs. Designed to be built by ordinary means, methods and materials, the structure can be easily disassembled and reused by the community for future seasons.
