Jenga 4.0 built right upon Jenga 3.0. We were asked to increase our building to 4 stories, while rotating one unit, creating two fire stairs, and introducing an elevator. I worked with members Corry Mears, and Austin Loman to produce this 4 story residential building.
Creating a hybrid of all three words, joint, groove, and glide, a portmanteau derived forming the word jive. Not only does the word jive relate to our three words phonetically, but it also represents the smooth blending of all three spaces that embodies the essence of each concept. This idea communicates clearly in the joining of all three spaces to create a set of balconies that can be seen at all levels of the four story structure. These units also appear to essentially glide glide into their location. Grooves compose what is a means of egress of the four axes. The primary means of the public space on the second and fourth floor is a relaxing retreat where residents can come together. Similarly, the first and fourth floor acts as a gathering place where residents can enjoy the garden.
