DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As we have been working through our small group design phase, the buzzword in the studio has been "iterate". We are all trying to work through this repetitive phase of communicating design ideas, combining perspectives, narrowing down a design goal and narrative, and iterating through variations of these concepts to create the best possible solution [...]
Today in studio we met as a class for an informal review on our progress through small group design. One group is focused on the idea of creating an epicenter for the park - an area of gathering where multiple axis of circulation paths meet. Our group is looking at creating a gateway into the [...]
This week in studio is all about working together as a small group to come up with another pavilion design, which will ultimately provide us with another round of critiques before moving forward with a final design for a new park structure at Stephen Washington Park. I've been teamed up with Madison and Jake, and [...]
As we are progressing with small group designs, it can be tough to land on a concept that really clicks... however it seems the best thing to do is to propose essentially anything - rather than waiting for the perfect ideas to arise from no where (it'll never happen). Throwing anything onto the table without [...]
After having our review with Jason and Rodney last Tuesday, we have broken up into groups and began the stage of small group design. We were grouped up into teams of 3 and 4 based off of what design strengths we possess would help aid other people in our group the best. One of the [...]
In Introduction to Craft with Matt Corbitt, students presented their initial concepts for the Block Party design.. In late October, students will have designed and fabricated a element to enhance engagement for the party with Metanoia, a local non-profit organization. Ideas such as sculptures, benches, tables, and games have been pitched by students to further [...]
Yesterday afternoon we wrapped up our individual design phase by presenting this past week's work to Jason and Rodney from the city. Each student curated their own board, each with a variety of interests, observations and precedents which contributed to their unique concept. Even though the group as a whole operated with the same shared [...]
This past weekend and Monday, the studio saw a few busy nights of work in preparation for our individual design presentations with the city, this afternoon. Each of us has spent time sketching out several iterations of design concepts, focusing on either the future pavilion’s relationship with the play structure at Steven Washington Park, or [...]
This past weekend we have been focusing on our individual designs for our pin-up this Tuesday. A few of us spent all weekend in the studio, narrowing down our presentation boards and models. Our boards will be composed of a site plan, diagrams, perspective views, sections and precedent images to tell the story of our [...]
This week, we have been working on our individual design concepts for the development of Stephen Washington Park. It has been interesting to see all the different directions that the studio is pursuing through this design phase. I am in the group that is diving into designs based on integrated development in the playground. We [...]
