DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
There's two things you should know about me. I love Jesus, and I love coffee. I'll always be down to go grab a cup of coffee, especially if it means we get to check out a new shop! I was born and raised in Charleston, so over the years I've had a chance to try [...]
After being hard at work in the studio and in the shop, some of Studio V headed downstairs to Bar Mash to participate in the weekly Thursday night trivia. This week brought us our highest scores, but after losing our chance to win it all, we went home without the prize once again but with [...]
As of Tuesday we have sent a CD set to our structural engineer to review and redline. While we await the return of the redlines we are going to determine finalized floorplan iterations for Plymouth Park and begin the fabrication process for the Old Towne Creek project. Once we get the greenlight from a structural [...]
For the past week or so in studio, I have been a part of the group that is in charge of creating shop drawing for a project that was started last semester at the Old Towne Creek Park. The shop drawings themselves have been a great learning experience for myself because I get to actually [...]
Thursday afternoon, I met with Carson Carroll, the representative of REDUX contemporary art center to discuss a design option to solve their problem for art easel storage. I am teaming up with REDUX this semester through David Pastre's Community 1:1 course to assist and learn from them. REDUX is a non-profit organization that encourages and [...]
Yesterday marked a huge milestone for our studio. We had the opportunity to meet with a highly respected structural engineer, diving deep into the mechanics of our truss and cross-bracing systems. Since structure is the backbone of our project, this meeting was very important in refining and elevating our design. We began by reviewing column [...]
In the last few days, our studio has split into two groups; one focusing on the structural integrity of the pavilion, and the other focusing on producing construction documents to build the secondary portion of the Community Build studio’s project from last semester. Myself and the others in the CD production group split ourselves up, [...]
This week is an exciting one for the Community Build Studio! Today we are meeting with the structural engineer to work on the truss system in our design, and iron out some structural details. Some of the students in the class have started on construction documents and a larger scale connection model of the pavilion [...]
After our design review on Wednesday, we decided we needed to make some pivots from the design we presented. Our group had extra time for this phase, arguably too much for our own good, that we took to long to make decisions, and ended up rushing to finish the final product. From Wednesday to Friday, [...]
After a busy week prepping for our studio design review, I got to take a quick break from our Plymouth Park project to meet with my nonprofit partner for Community 1:1. I met with the Charleston Parks Conservancy a few weeks ago, and we decided that my project for the semester would be to design [...]
