⁣ Did you ever wonder how to build or assemble a ⁣ Did you ever wonder how to build or assemble a kite? Did you get a chance to build one when you were younger? ⁣ ⁣ It might seem easy to make one of these flying structures, however, it really is not. ⁣ ⁣ Details and numbers are important things to consider when crafting kites, and of course moderate wind conditions.⁣ ⁣ This fall, some of our Community Build students will learn how to craft kites, and they will later get a chance to fly them by the beach in Charleston. What an exciting and engaging project for our students! More updates to come as we progress through the semester. ⁣ ⁣ Stay in the loop! #introductiontocraft #kitemaking #flyingstructures #architectureandmathematics #designinspiration #clemson #clemsonarchitecture #cdccharleston
Featured this week, the community garden pavilion Featured this week, the community garden pavilion at Corrine Jones Park which serves as a multi-programmatic structure integrating sustainable strategies with natural elements. ⁣ The design for the pavilion, and ultimately its unique shape, was inspired by placing an importance on rainwater collection and maximizing that collection to foster plants growth on and around the pavilion. This structure services a 72 bed community garden and a playground with multiple sporting courts and fields. ⁣ ⁣ The whole intent of this project is to better the human experience, whether as a place to rest or congregate while enjoying the park and its many amenities, or to aid in the production and processing of the vegetables grown in the community garden. ⁣ ⁣ The pavilion safely stores the garden’s equipment and tools while providing a thoughtful line under the gutter to clean and process it’s harvested produce. In the center of it all is a large sink for rinsing and cleaning vegetables which drains it’s used gray water directly to one of the adjacent rain gardens. ⁣ ⁣ The Pavilion was also designed to GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) standards to ensure the safest processing of the harvested produce.⁣ ⁣ The structure is passively designed, requiring minimal maintenance and having no electrical requirement. ⁣ ⁣ Completed in Spring 2019 by @clemson_cb⁣ ⁣ #corrinejonescommunitygarden #charlestonhorticulturesociety #clemsonarchitecture #clemson #greendesign #charlestonparksconservancy
Hello everyone! It’s been awhile, Clemson CB mis Hello everyone! It’s been awhile, Clemson CB misses you and all our usual activities!⁣ ⁣ In a time like this it’s so important to remember not only our individual health and well-being but our communities as well. Our fall 2019 partners, The Green Heart Project, are a great example of this! ⁣ ⁣ The Enston Home Farm stand we collaborated on is beginning site work for its community garden! As of today, every Thursday evening you can donate to receive 10 lbs of produce to help fund their positive work in making sure everyone in the community has access to healthy foods.⁣ ⁣ Keep an eye on Enston as he grows and show some love for the well-being of the community! 💚
