For Jenga 6.0, we remained in the same group, [E]merge. The assignment was to look back at the details of Jenga 5.0. We had to pick a specific site where our building would be located. We also had to design a meeting room, public entrance, and our individual unit door. This was a fun project for me because I really enjoyed going back to our individual units to design a door that made sense to both the unit as well as the whole building. I also enjoyed working with the site. We chose Valle de Bravo, Mexico as our site. Being just a few hours outside of Mexico City, it seemed like the perfect location for our "get-away" resort. The site was a popular place for outdoor and water sports like hang gliding, hiking, rock climbing, and most of all, the festivals that brings so many people every year.
We were also given a textile and chair to incorporate in the design. Both were Eames products, the LCM chair (link found here) and a mid-century modern fabric (link found here).
This is one of the public spaces that was redefined, the entrance.
For my own personal unit door, I used wood panels that were dominated by verticals on the sides then horizontal for the inner panels. I did this because of the key concept of well up and elevation in my unit. The vertical columns that appear on the outside of the building derived from my unit and are seen throughout the space. Also, there are horizontals that are stacked to show a different type of elevation. This contrast is simplified by the two different dominations of wood in the door.
