JENGA Wi3- reviewing peers

Presenter: Brian Peck

Rising designer Brian Peck introduced three design challenges via floor plans, ceiling plans, axonometric drawings, and a series of models. Here’s a review of his attempt at designing these three spaces, while introducing the word, “TWIST” conceptually.

Following Peck’s enthusiastic and eye-brow raising presentation, my discoveries are as follows: Starting with the smallest space, the 11’x 32’4”; I believe the model actually brought this space to life. I could visualize dwelling in the space, I also gained a clear perspective of the places intended for activity. His axonometric drawing was the most successful in communicating his conceptual thoughts around the word "twist". Although, a bit far fetched, twisting of the body, his kit of parts (two solids) displayed were clear in its intentions.


Next, the 22’x 22’ space, Peck, broke the mold with his innovativeness and skills while creating an interior with function and style. Taking 1 column, protruding it to the maximum height and two walls; in theory, this kit of parts allows one to twist around a centralized space. The designers axonometric drawing once again is the best aide in visualizing his conceptual design ideas.
Finally, Peck continues the concept of twisting in his third design, in a 22’ x 32’4” space. He uses two columns, and leaves us to interpret the third object as a wall, or not! Again, his kits of parts demonstrates his intention of incorporating the twist. In this theory, the objects themselves are twisted. I just hope you're not afraid of the dark...where the lighting inside those 14' tall walls? However, he does intertwine very cleverly the concept term and the objects in this space. My findings is that he, effectively and best communicate his design concept in the plan drawing.

Keep your eyes open as I will keep you posted on Brian Peck, the up and coming CUTTING edge designer as he continues to Twist things up for us!
