Concept Statement
Society has become disconnected through the increased time spent using different types of screens and technology. Tetris, a game known for interlocking and connecting different shapes, inspires the design of Unplugged Games. Like Tetris, Unplugged Games’ goal is to connect people while incorporating entertaining physical and mental activities. This concept of connection is represented through the shape of the building and spaces within Unplugged Games. Spaces are joined through varying walkways and hallways leading to separate locations for lawn and board games. A separate wing is established for people wanting an energetic space to play lawn games. Another quieter wing is designated for people to play board games. Each wing has windows that allow for visual access to each other through the outdoor courtyard. In conclusion, Unplugged Games combines an entertaining and inclusive environment that encourages people to spend less time on technology and more time together.
