Description
View from the parking lot at the concrete canopy over the main entrance to the Congregation Shaarey Zedek Synagogue in Southfield, Michigan. "The sanctuary wing, which is diamond-shaped in plan, is connected to the donut-shaped school wing to the north. A narrow hyphen between the two wings contains the main entrance to the building which is accessed from the adjacent parking area along the east side of the property. A remarkable reinforced concrete canopy with a flat roof and supported on two clusters of bent columns provides shelter to those dropping off worshippers at the main entrance,"--Michigan Modern website.
