DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Tidings and greetings to all! Construction has finally begun and we have gotten off to a racing start. 12 out of the 21 frames were built within two days and in a mere few hours 🙂 The most time consuming part thus far has been figuring out how to notch the compost members so that [...]
It has now come down to this. We have completed our construction documents, have the details worked out and the budget is complete, the next step is to purchase our supplies and begin construction. After going in front of the review board, we are now just doing the left side of our wall: this includes [...]
Last week we presented our project to the Charleston Design Review Board. Our presentation went really well. We were all very well prepared, had more than sufficient material and got pretty good feedback from everyone on the board. We have continued working while waiting for their approval.

A major project that I began over break was constructing my wood box [...]
Besides getting presentation material together for donations and the Design Review Board, I have been working on the compost. After doing some research, I developed a a scheme that is visually appealing and functional to the act of composting. Starting at the west side of the wall, the Compost System consists of three compost bins [...]
Last night we pretty much finished the mock up. It took a lot of hard work and some careful decisions to finish. I think that its important though, to acknowledge the process we took to get to this finished result. One of the larger scale models we made was a good example of this. By making the [...]
So.... what's up.... it's been awhile. I know. I apologize for forgetting about you. It's nothing personal. You've just slipped my mind the last couple weeks, but I'm going to make it up to you, I promise. Starting.... NOW! Spring break was excellent, so refreshing.
