The Sukkah (temporary hut) is a structure consisting of a roof made of organic material it should be walled structure covered with flora roof that one can see the sky throw it, such as tree branches or bamboo shoots.
The Sukkah City competition ask the participate to build a Kosher Sukka,
The meaning of that it should be build from organic/recycled material, that its skin should be its structure and of course that it would be transparency.
I choose two structures that I found them Interesting in their relation between structure, material and skin.

His studies show that natural biology structure system are depending on the same forces that architecture structure has to deal with.
The skin is a structure by its self it should not be just a shell (as we know animals skin is a part of more complex system), therefore at his work the skin is more complex it became to be the structure and the body. skin, structure and the body are one.
More then that he explore the materials he uses study their behavior, forces, form… and that for taking an advantage of it and maximize the opportunities that the material has to offer us and find the best way to use it.
