DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
It’s been an odd week here in Charleston with the snow -- and as of now it's still here! As someone who grew up in the Midwest, I’ve been enjoying the snow and the piece of home that I seem to have brought with me down South. While the snow has kept us cozied up [...]
Something about a Palmetto amid snow in an empty parking lot.. Looking forward to the coming weeks distilling down thoughts and ideas for our Plymouth Park Pavilion structure. Many different ideas being thrown around, but I think the common theme in the group is duality in architecture - elements that are convertible or that serve [...]
As many of you know, there is supposed to be a major cold front moving through Charleston within the next 48 hours. One that can bring many people back to the snowfall of January 2018. Approximately six years ago, Charlestonians experienced one of the biggest snowfalls of its history with 5.3 inches of snow which [...]

This weekend I went to tour the Southern Living Idea Home for 2024 - located on Johns Island near a farm. The home is in a brand new neighborhood that is still under development and it definitely sets a precedent for how beautiful the neighborhood will be! Walking up to the home, my favorite part [...]
We are getting into the routine of classes and Field Studies this year is taught by David! The structure of the class is similar to the class he took in Genoa in '99 (before most of us in the class were born!). Yesterday was the first full class out sketching around the peninsula. A few [...]
With the end of the semester nearing and the heaps of homework growing larger and larger, I needed an afternoon break. The chosen location: Charlestown landing. The pirate ship gave me hope that we can sail through the rest of the semester 😉 I was just looking for a nice stroll on all trails and [...]

Only a short drive North from Charleston, is Georgetown, SC which was once the wealthiest county in the United States. Founded in 1729, Georgetown became home to many indigo and rice planters and [...]
