JENGA 3.0

In this assignment we were too collaborate with two other classmates and unite the spaces from JENGA 2.0. Nikki’s space was designed around the word LEAP, Cassandra’s space was designed with consideration of the word IGNITE. My space was created after the word REVERBERATE. In this assignment we had to bring the three units together to make one cohesive design. The books we were assigned to read, all focused on community, weather it was how the community was constructed or how it’s preserved. With this in mind we wanted create a space that would truly serve its inhabitants. We wanted the neighbors to establish a bond that’s not present in today’s society, while incorporating our individual designs. We needed to incorporate many curves in our design because our individual spaces embraced the curve in form. Weather it was through the vertical curved structure greeting the users in the lobby, or the layout reverberating throughout the structure, or the public seating leaping through the wall to invite the users; the units ignite the feeling of community.
Above is a detailed section of our public spaces. We wanted the users to focus on the vertical curve that was also present in Cassandra's space.
