Jenga 7.1


When meeting over the weekend with Symbiosis we discovered a similar design language of angles, and an atrium effect in the center of our structures.
Together we formed Sinergia, Spanish for synergy: “the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects”.  We have decided as a group to relocate just north of Vic, Spain near the reservoir in Vilanova de Sau up in the hillside above overlooking the water.
Together we have axial navigation, and a stacking of our buildings. We have chosen to separate out original structures and combine them in a new way to better relate to both of our original concepts coming out of Jenga 6.0. We are focusing on voids and solids, taking that concept from the surrounding area where there are areas of openness and areas that are more closed off as you reach the mountain regions. As we move into Jenga 7.0 our focus is on materials native to our destination in Spain, as well how our structure interacts with the land, and its surroundings including other structures in the area.  We are considering materials such as crema marfil, tungsten, zinc, quartz, and copper (all native materials) for our structure.
