DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY STUDIO V OF THE CLEMSON ARCHITECTURE CENTER IN CHARLESTON
On a crisp and cool Sunday morning you can't beat sipping a cappuccino while looking for inspiration at the Magnolia Community Garden. Today's featured image is a vegetable trellis structure for growing - I decided to snap a photo for future reference in studio. This past week my studio partner, Caleb, and I have explored [...]
On the last workday before in person classes resume, Studio V is touching up final designs before our meeting with the Charleston Parks conservancy on Monday the 21st. It seems everyone is excited to leave behind this online format and slowly get back to bouncing ideas of each other face to face, or mask to [...]
Hey guys, Happy Friday! As we close out this week I would just like to do a nice little recap of all we accomplished this week. This week began with us coming to class on Monday in teams of two full of ideas for a start in designing the program for the Charleston Parks Conservancy [...]
Although in-person classes are now less than two weeks away, we are still finding new ways to share our work digitally. I never thought I would be completing the fourth year of my architecture degree online, but in the face of a global pandemic safety is top priority. It seems like we become more immersed [...]

We [...]
Anyone that knew an architecture major during college knows that when an architecture student goes to studio, its usually for a very long time. “What is the word can they be doing that makes them stay up till the wee hours of the morning?” you might ask. Well the answer may not surprise you. They [...]
Good Morning! Today we will reconvene in studio to discuss some explorations into the structure and progress of our projects. Although we are focusing primarily on final design and construction documentation this week, we had to break and explore some mock-ups of connections and processes to manipulate steel. Early this week we dabbled in some [...]
...this choo choo train because it's time to choo choo choose some materials so that we can lock down the connecting details of our designs this week! In short, this week will be a bit of a grind, both groups are progressing well towards an end goal, but we have much to do when it [...]
