Sorting The Pieces To No Puzzle

Once again building off of our last project, that being JENGA 2.0 we have began 3.0 in which we are working in groups of three and combining the three spaces into one sort of cohesive complex. I am having the pleasure of working with Abigail Buchanan and Austin Loman. Monday we were to turn in a team proposal which stated our name (JIVE STUDIOS), theoretical position, design approach, goals and a slew of other things. Along with that we were to once again compose a narrative of our three spaces blending together as well as a diagram explaining certain ideas. 

NARRATIVE

Arranging the three units adjacent to one another, an implied square is formed around the perimeter of the exterior walls. By shifting two of the units outward, the structures seem to be gliding across the landscape while still keeping an implied boundary of a perfect square. The connecting element of the three spaces is a second floor balcony speaking to the notion of joinery while also creating an interior public space below. Groove is implied by a series of corridors leading from exterior to interior as well as public to private. Individual private spaces are accessible from both the ground floor and the second floor balcony.  The units are arranged in a fashion that creates nine means of egress. Three modes of egress on the second floor move from the public to private spaces, while two lead from the second floor to the ground floor.  On the ground floor the four means of egress are located on each axis of the structure connecting the interior with the exterior.
