WI 4: Jenga 3.0 Team Proposal

Allure.

Kacie Leisure | Leslie Canipe | Kathryn Frye

TEAM NAME

Allure. A magnet of attraction. Urge. Impel. Inveigle. A gradual reveal of hints leading one to the definitive moment we wish to imply.

THEORETICAL POSITION

The books, which have been read by our group, are “The Hidden Dimension,” “The Death and Life of Great American Cities,” and “The Necessity for Ruins and Other Topics.”

• The “Hidden Dimension.” Organization of space utilizing appropriate cultural proxemics and their relationship, which is formed through the marriage of these parts.
• The “Death and Life of Great American Cities.” The study of the interrelationships of parts in this combination to reach a substantial whole. Artifacts influence on universe.
• “The Necessity for Ruins and Other Topics.” Time changes perception of cultural morality. The reflection and desire of man to echo precedents, deprives attainment of modern demand.

DESIGN APPROACH

Through the combination of our concept words, “kiss,” “deviate,” and “well-up,” we will create an aesthetically pleasing space as we also focus in on the combination of parts to ensure a properly functional and soundly structural piece. Through all stages of our process we will continually explore the principles and elements of design, as the ongoing goal is to achieve as many as possible. In the combination of these three varying spaces, the implication of these strategies will ensure a fluid and unified space, which will essentially draw you throughout in a fluid manner. We believe that in our efforts to do so, we will unveil a marriage of these concepts into one space.

DELIVERABLES

Our digital representation will consist of computer renderings, series of hand drafting, and diagramming with final focus on a proposed floor plan, building sections, and 2 public space perspectives. Tangible space will also be offered through model as we explore the built environment to link our concepts with materiality, texture, and space. In our efforts to create a cohesive presentation we will provide printouts of our entire design to each audience member to ensure a thought provoking and fully engaging conversation

TEAM QUALIFICATIONS

As second year students currently enrolled as majors in Interior Architecture at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, we bring common experiences but individual talents to the team, as we will work together to create a strong project in pursuit of quality deliverables.

EXPLICIT DESIGN GOALS

• Combine individual time management skills into a cohesive one for our specific team.
• Adapt skills from other team members in pursuit of becoming stronger designers.
• Become stronger conceptual thinkers.
• Apply empathy towards other members, as “I” becomes a “we.”
• Explore other levels of the design spectrum as we each derive from varying places.
• Being able to orally produce as stimulating responses off paper.
• Full engagement through all aspects of project including those that aren’t demanded.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As we have not formerly explored the talents of one other through work, we have vague understanding of each individual’s skill, and we expect our team responsibilities to alter through the course of this project, however we recognize the following advantages from each team member:

Frye: providing conceptual ideas throughout our design process.

Leisure: crafting beautiful composition to showcase our work.

Canipe: forming pristine narrative and digital representational skill.

COLLABORATION

The reason we believe to be a forward evolving, attentive to time and deadline, and virtually dynamic team is our flexibility toward one another and strong will toward our common profession. The question is not to whether we will achieve these goals, but through our confidence how great we can produce the finished product in taking full advantage of our time in studio and outside of. Through team collaboration we believe and obtain high expectations of one another and ourselves through mutual effort.
