This weekend is extra long in order to give us Clemson students an academic break over the next four days. This means that before wednesday of next week, we have no official meeting times. What does this mean for Studio V? Will we continue working over the next four days? Are we going to forget [...]

A timely timeline
Well… Since I didn’t have any classes today, I thought I might go ahead and get a head start on this post… But where to start?! So much has happened in the past week, it’s hard to keep track. I’m sure as a reader outside of the studio, it’s probably pretty hard to keep up [...]
Decision Made
Today was an incredibly exciting day!! (You will most likely be able to tell that through all of the exclamation points that are likely to fill this post) At the beginning of studio, we brought two possible designs to the table, using two different material choices. It turned out in the end that either design [...]
There is no “I” in “team”
We've all heard it - "there is no 'I' in team." Indeed, here tonight in studio, I'm seeing nearly every student working on group projects, from both Studio V and Studio U. Talking about "I's", a new material that seems to be spanning consistently between both groups within our Studio V class is the use [...]
Concrete, Rammed earth… and Lego Bricks?
As I was riding my bike back from studio this evening in this wonderful, sunny Charleston weather… well kind of… I was thinking of what got me starting to like our unique, creative, and sometimes brutal field of architecture and design- I was also worrying about how much work we have ahead of us to [...]
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
I left studio on Friday leaving the students with a few websites to check out over the weekend that I find inspiration from. My intention for this post was to elaborate on that idea, but I've found this to be too broad a topic to cram into one post, so I will try to elaborate [...]
Maybe there’s more to life than being really really ridiculously good designers
Sometimes it seems like there's not enough hours in the day for anything besides architecture. Our days are comsumed with structured classes and our nights are filled with work that often spills over into the next day. This makes me wonder.. "Is there is more to life than being a good designer?" As you all are very well [...]
Teddy makes us proud …
It takes at least ten hard-working architecture and/or landscape architecture students to design and compose a master plan presentation in less than 20 hours, but it only takes one Teddy to eloquently deliver that presentation to the design review committee. To bring you [...]
After rereading our Studio V blog in preparation for today's post, I would like to begin by taking a quick step backwards. For all of you readers not familiar with the proposed renovations to Corinne Jones Park, the scheme includes enlarging the tennis court area, maintaining the basketball court (or courts which is yet to [...]
A light at the end of the tunnel…
After the review yesterday left us all hanging, wondering if the chosen scheme would move forward or if we would fall back on ‘the Shade’ project, we finally have a bit of an answer. First of all, Studio V will be presenting at this Thursday’s Design Review Board meeting. Matt Compton of the Parks Department [...]
