It’s hard to believe that we are already closing out our first month of the semester; time has been flying by for us over here at the C.D.C. This week has been full of milestones with one of the biggest ones coming up this afternoon. This afternoon is our first meeting with the Charleston Parks Conservancy – I promise that Justin will fill you in on Monday. But, right now, it seems appropriate to finally introduce ourselves. This post means that you have now heard from the whole gang and it’s time to know a little bit more about Studio V.
This semester we are a group of 12 with a mix of graduate, undergraduate, architecture, and landscape architecture students. We have come to Clemson from 4 different states as well as one other continent. We range in age, experience, and taste. Even with all of our differences, we have one strong connection – our passion for the built environment.
