Architecture of Sukka- the Sukka city contest

This days, Jews around the world celebrate the 8-days festival of Sukkot, a Jewish holiday which revolves around building a Sukka, meaning "temporary shelter" or "temporary hut". The idea is to keep a living memory of the travels of the Jewish people through the desert before arriving to the promised land.
Once it's built, The Sukka stays foot for 8 days, and used for having company, enjoying the cool ottum evenings and of course eating and feasting.
The religious rules that describe how to make a "right" Sukka emphasize the temporal value of it, for example, you should be able to see the stars through the roof of a Sukka; You can't make a Sukka under a tree, but on top of a tree, like a tree-house, is OK.
My childhood memories include raiding constructions site for left over wood beams, putting them togther with nails for the constrictive part; using old bed sheets for walls, and breaches of palm trees for roof.
Here are two examples:

Recently Sukka-DIY-kits became popular, with ready to use metal beams and indusrially decorated curtains:

Sukka City is a contest for design Sukka structures, of which 12 were selected and presented to the public, and out of them on will be built in New York.

All entries to the contest are presented in the Sukka city site, and make a wonderful stock of imaginative and creative structures. One entree caught my eyes- Francois Tenenbaum's Genuine American Sukkah, that links this festival to the traditional native American dwellings.
Have a look in the wonderful entrees, And Happy Sukkut Holiday,

Yours,
