DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
On Tuesday this week, my "Inevitable Inundation" classmates and I celebrated Halloween by "trick or treating" for mitigation techniques on historic homes located around the lower end of the Charleston Peninsula. It was very nice to have the opportunity to get out and about and have a break from the normal routine. In addition it [...]
Today was a busy day in the shop. As a recap, half of the students in the ITC class are working on a model staircase project which is meant to be a lesson on bent wood laminations and complex formwork needed to build them. My team was hard at work over the weekend and today, [...]
Hello again. There is much to share from this last week, weekend, and yesterday. Some of what I am sharing has been discussed in previous posts but I wanted to share some of my personal experiences/achievements with these events. This post will mention several different events so I will try to be concise in my [...]

The structure needed to be large enough to serve as an enclosed, screened-in [...]
After some much needed R&R, the students reassembled today upon returning from Spring Break. We picked up right where we left off and began to make new progress in our assigned teams. One group is currently focusing on operable features of the pavilion, another is focused on landscaping, another on layout of programming, and finally [...]
To recap, last Friday we held our first design review with some of the stakeholders for the Singleton Park Project where each student presented their individual designs for the park. It was fun seeing everyone's work and it was very informative to hear feedback from the stakeholders on what worked and what did not. After [...]
There have been many tasks involved with the Mural Wall Project. Yesterday, I learned about the process of planning the mounting location of the Mural Board onto the wall itself. For this process, we used a Gyroscopic, 360 degree Lazer level. The first time we were introduced to this tool was on the Frierson site [...]
On Friday, we spent the day visiting the various sites of some of the past and on-going A+CB projects. This was a great opportunity for us to reflect on the history of the program, to appreciate the hard work of many of the previous A+CB students, and to recognize the level of quality in the [...]
