Jenga 7.0

In Jenga 7.0 we found ourselves being merged into even larger groups of 12, with Symbiosis and Pinnacle. When combining the concepts behind each group in order to create a new structure we wanted to maintain the curved motions from team symbiosis, and the stratified upward motion that lead to the Pinnacle from our group. At the outset of our design process it was tough to come to a consensus with 12 different design voices speaking at once. However I feel that as co leaders Justin Mcnair and myself were able to help mediate the different ideas so that the group could come to a clear decision that allowed everyone’s voice to be herd. Our structure was a complete inclusion of each individual’s concept word. My concept word Tilt can be seen in the upward slanting motion of the building with each floor tilting off of its axis by 15 degrees. While each concept word is evidently seen on the exterior of the building we also wanted to intertwine the use of our concept words with in the site itself. For example the manor in which the rolling cliffs and hills tilt along the countryside was taken into consideration when placing our building in this location. Our building was meant to stand out through color and materiality, while speaking to the site itself structurally becoming a continuation of the tilting hillsides and stratified cliffs.
