Question

Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Mayan Revival building of this type in Elkins Park with steep translucent wire glass walls that project skyward. Ludwig Förster included two domed octagonal towers for his Moorish Revival-style one of these buildings on Dohány Street. To preserve building materials, a few of these buildings in Kingston and Willemstad cover their floors with sand. Wooden types of these buildings, such as ones in Kurkliai and Wolpa, used four massive masonry pillars to define the Bimah. Daniel Libeskind (10[2])redesigned one of these places (-5[2])in Pittsburgh following a 2018 shooting. (10[2])Architects sometimes (10[1])include a partition called a mechitzah in their designs (10[1])for these structures, whose Sephardic types have the altar in the center. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name these buildings whose stained glass windows often illuminate Torah recitations. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
