DISCRIPTION:
The Tribeca Synagogue, designed by architect William Breger and completed in 1967, is a striking example of modernist religious architecture in New York City. Located at 49 White Street, its design blends spiritual symbolism with bold geometry. The building features a curved façade suspended over an open air entry, creating a dramatic, sculptural presence. Breger aimed to reflect the synagogue’s spiritual purpose through innovative design rather than traditional motifs. Inside, natural light floods the sanctuary, enhancing the meditative atmosphere. The Tribeca Synagogue stands as a unique architectural statement, harmonizing contemporary design with Jewish identity and urban context in Lower Manhattan.
NOTES:
33 Thomas St, the brutalist telecoms tower is located only a few blocks away.
