For Jenga 4.0, our group came together combining our spaces into one cohesive unit that interlocked around a central public area for congregation. Each of our individual structures helped to define the pubic space as a whole. In addition, incorporating individual elements from each unit into the public areas, gave the complex a cohesive theme, both inside and out.. The complex of units that we designed combines the idea of interlocking ambiguity with in a grid like order; acting like pieces of a puzzle to form an interior courtyard area. Our group was able to clearly communicate a design that incorporated ideas and themes that were seen in our individual books we read previously. Brian’s “The 10 Books on Architecture” by Vitruvius, Audra’s “Delirious New York” by Rem Koolhaus and Jamaan’s “Nature of Order” by Christopher Alexander; each assisted in helping to communicate that each of the buildings came together to interlock around an intensified and defined pleasing space. Our group agrees that each of the books we read individually helped us to form and shape our design and will be important in pushing our design further along in the process.
Using our expanded understanding of our individual spaces and how they fit together in our first project will assist us in moving forward into Jenga 4.0. The expansion of our complex, both vertically and horizontally in this next project will only create more opportunity to communicate our concept words while creating interesting and thoughtful design. Not only will our final presentation help the viewer visualize themselves in the complex, but it will include additional views to understand how the space comes together as a whole.
Our group decided to go in the direction of giving the space some context based off of where we would have liked to see the buildings. One of my ideas which was on the sea front in Seattle was well received by the group, which is why the Olympic Mountains can be seen in some of our background images.
