DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As of today, all groups have worked on figuring out the logistics of their concepts and are preparing to complete the bulk of their work as we look to the presentation this coming Wednesday. Part of our small group is working out the logistics and costs of our proposed design while the others work on [...]
As we all prepare for the upcoming small group design review next Wednesday, this week of studio starts the final design push before we switch to documenting our projects. By this point, groups have set their site design strategies and have been refining what the structure looks like, aiming to be complete with major design [...]
As Shane shared in the last post, we are continuing to develop the moving wall concept and how the three stands can slide together to create a stage like gathering space while still functioning day to day for display and crafting. At the same time, we are beginning to think more intentionally about the site. [...]
On Friday, the four groups quickly presented to each other in order for us to truly understand what our designs are about. Having these early two minute presentations makes you really think about the key ideas that drive your project. The feedback from these quick talks is also valuable because a fresh set of eyes [...]
As we continue to work in our small group phase of the Conservancy of the Sea Islands project, things are starting to feel more focused and intentional.

This week in studio, we started our design phase for the sweet grass basket stands. The studio was split into four groups each tasked with solving distinct design issues. My group was designated as the "wildcard" which means we aren't following any design parameters to start off. With a free range to design in, our [...]
Mondays are quiet in the studio, as everyone meets with their nonprofits for the Community 1:1 course. There isn’t much to report on that, BUT if you have recommendations for architecture-related things to do in Charleston, please let me know! I’m partnering with the South Carolina Architectural Foundation to create a brochure / informal walking [...]
Kaden was correct! I will tell you what had happened in our Friday review for our studios individual designs. These reviews serve more as client meetings than anything, meaning that what we gather from it to continue our efforts toward one cohesive design for the semester is arguably more important than what our partners at [...]
And we're here... the climax, the big reveal, the whole shebang. The elusive Community Review is happening! I bring this blog post to you the night before the presentation so I have no idea what happens Friday(Tyler will tell you Monday I'm sure), but as you read this we may be in the midst of [...]
