[Evolution] : Jenga 3.0 + 4.0



































For this latest edition of Jenga in our studio, we paired up in groups of three to create an emergence of public space. Our team, self titled "Evolution" were joining Kara Kooy's concept of crystallize, Kelly Harris's concept of pendulate, and my concept flow to create the space in the perspective you see below. Before we got to that point however, a process led us in our design from the decision to dub ourselves team Evolution. In our design we actualized the underlying theme of flow through the procession of capture and release within moments of enclosure within solids and moments of release through the perception of void upon discovering the glass patio. Through form, materials, and light, we explored the sense of enclosure and openness along certain paths to create a free flowing space. The main moments of enclosure take place on the first level padio as existing structures create more privatized patio spaces. There is a flow of light through the glass tiled second floor patio which unites the two public spaces while also dematerialize the connection. To enforce this floating effect, columns become thinner on the upper level.
