"If the best sacred architecture intimates the presence of a higher power, the G-d of the TriBeCa Synagogue is a luminous and soft-spoken one," writes the Times of the Orthodox Jewish Tribeca Synagogue, whose unusual undulating shell was designed by William N. Breger in 1967. The building's curving walls help amplify sound, a trait helpful for the congregation which practices a form of Judaism that prohibits the use of electronics on certain days of the week. The synagogue's president: "You don't have to speak that loud and you can fill the room." [NYT]
