Studio ST Architects principal Esther Sperber had the pleasure of being a guest alongside Richard Olcott of Ennead Architects and the renowned Peter Eisenman on the quirky, comedic podcast, U.S. Modernist Radio. Hosted by George Smart and Tom Guild, “the U.S. Modernist Radio crew talks and laughs with fascinating people who own, sell, create, love, and hate Modernist architecture, the most controversial houses and buildings in the world.”
In this episode, the hosts refer to Studio ST Architects as the “go-to firm for synagogue renovation in the New York City area.” Esther discusses ways of providing synagogue security without compromising beautifully designed architecture, and she talks about the move to create modern synagogues in the U.S. to emphasize community, in addition to prayer. Listen to the podcast episode to hear how this ties to our SynaCondo project and renovations for Skokie Valley Synagogue and Ansche Chesed Synagogue.
