DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
The studio had a nice fall break Monday and Tuesday... Wish that could last longer but --> Back to work!! Before we left for fall break last Friday we painted lots of our boards with one of our colors: French Toast. We spent a lot of time deciding the color palette for our walls/structure/trellis. We [...]
In the midst of waiting for our zoning permit, our class has switched gears to focus on everything that we can build off site in the woodshop such as the partition walls and all of the steel components like the trellis and the garden wall. We have received the shipment for all of the wood [...]
We're reaching the middle-ish point of the semester. I'm sure everyone else has been diligently informing you all about all the goings on of the studio world, so lets focus on some of the other classes at the Design Center for today.

It's an exciting time in the studio, with us all figuring out how we are actually going to build our pavilion [...]
After a round of riveting summer adventure tales from my classmates, we got right back to work on our first day back in the design studio class. The first order of business was to figure out all that we needed to do to complete out build before the end of the semester. This involved setting [...]
The final design has been approved by the Conservancy of The Sea Island board! You know what that means... next phase of work. This phase is the construction documents phase in which we need everything to be in perfect order, organized, detailed, and functioning as planned. David has been especially enthusing about this lecture, and [...]
Yesterday, each of the four groups fiercely competed to convince the Conservancy of the Sea Islands that their project is the best and that theirs is the one that needs to be built... Not really. We had a great discussion about the productively diverse designs to narrow down towards the last design, which is our [...]
