2. Barkitecture at Rockefeller Plaza
Forget gingerbread houses, students at the School of Visual Arts have created dog houses to decorate. The students used a variety of materials and found objects, from mop heads to a hot dog cart, to construct the canine abodes. Each of the 14 doghouses originally appeared along Madison Avenue in 2022, protected from the elements by an illuminated 8′ lucite case which also features the name and photo of the adorable dog in residence. THis year, the doghouses can be found in a window display at 75 Rockefeller Plaza. You’ll meet Bubble Gum, a fluffy white poodle in a hot pink house created by Yuanjun Chen, Catch-up, the dog that shares his hot dog cart home with a pigeon (by Jennifer Santos), Mop Top by Kaori Sakai, and many others.
