Did you ever wonder how to build or assemble a kite? Did you get a chance to build one when you were younger? ⁣
⁣
It might seem easy to make one of these flying structures, however, it really is not. ⁣
⁣
Details and numbers are important things to consider when crafting kites, and of course moderate wind conditions.⁣
⁣
This fall, some of our Community Build students will learn how to craft kites, and they will later get a chance to fly them by the beach in Charleston. What an exciting and engaging project for our students! More updates to come as we progress through the semester. ⁣

Featured this week, the community garden pavilion

Featured this week, the community garden pavilion at Corrine Jones Park which serves as a multi-programmatic structure integrating sustainable strategies with natural elements.
⁣
The design for the pavilion, and ultimately its unique shape, was inspired by placing an importance on rainwater collection and maximizing that collection to foster plants growth on and around the pavilion. This structure services a 72 bed community garden and a playground with multiple sporting courts and fields. ⁣
⁣
The whole intent of this project is to better the human experience, whether as a place to rest or congregate while enjoying the park and its many amenities, or to aid in the production and processing of the vegetables grown in the community garden. ⁣
⁣
The pavilion safely stores the garden’s equipment and tools while providing a thoughtful line under the gutter to clean and process it’s harvested produce. In the center of it all is a large sink for rinsing and cleaning vegetables which drains it’s used gray water directly to one of the adjacent rain gardens. ⁣
⁣
The Pavilion was also designed to GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) standards to ensure the safest processing of the harvested produce.⁣
⁣
The structure is passively designed, requiring minimal maintenance and having no electrical requirement. ⁣

Completed in Spring 2019 by @clemson_cb⁣

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile, Clemson CB misses you and all our usual activities!⁣
⁣
In a time like this it’s so important to remember not only our individual health and well-being but our communities as well. Our fall 2019 partners, The Green Heart Project, are a great example of this! ⁣
⁣
The Enston Home Farm stand we collaborated on is beginning site work for its community garden! As of today, every Thursday evening you can donate to receive 10 lbs of produce to help fund their positive work in making sure everyone in the community has access to healthy foods.⁣
⁣
Keep an eye on Enston as he grows and show some love for the well-being of the community! 💚

From concept to model to mock up to construction,

From concept to model to mock up to construction, this project has not been without trial and error. BUT as a team we are happy to announce our final review went GREAT! ⠀⠀
The project is about 90% complete; after a few touch ups the rest of this week, William Enston will FINALLY be completed! Thank you to our amazing client @greenheartchs for the opportunity! ⠀⠀
***oh, did we mention we are being nominated with the rest of the William Enston property for the National Registry of Historic Places?!

With only 2.5 weeks left in the semester we are PROGRESSING. At the rate we expected you ask? No, BUT this thing is going to be beautiful in the end!

Thank you to AIA Greenville for the chance to submit our project for The AIA Greenville Merit Student Award. We are proud as students to gain the knowledge of construction, details, teamwork, and design to better shape our future careers. This award is a cherry on top of the larger picture. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We want to thank the Charleston Parks Conservancy, our client, who had the vision for this structure to better help serve the community and their new community garden. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We also couldn’t have made this possible without the help of our structural engineer @john.moore55 and Clemson’s Community Build professor @dpastre Thank you to everyone involved that we didn’t mention, your hard work did not go unnoticed.

Concrete day is one of our favorite days! 🧡 The dirt gets under your nails, and the mud flys in your face - all in the end to see a beautiful slab! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We are 1/3 done with concrete; second half of the slab gets poured on Monday and the piers get poured the following week!

BIRTHDAY CORNER 🎉
Happy Day of Birth to the glue that keeps us together, @dpastre . ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We truly appreciate you every day; the knowledge and trust that you have to guide us with is something we will take with us forever. You impact each one of our careers and education for the better and we are very fortunate to have a professor as caring as you. ⠀⠀
Some days are harder than others, but you make sure that every student that crosses your path is given the tools they need to succeed, as well as a friend for life. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
We appreciate all you do and hope you have the best time celebrating with your family tonight. You really are the “Pith of our hearts” 😂
