DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today, the small groups are making a final push for our presentation tomorrow. Tomorrow, each of the three groups must present their pavilion idea to Jason and Rodney from the city, and two community leaders who will critique our designs and provide us with thoughts and feedback. Most groups finished their deliverables over the weekend, [...]
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 [...]
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 week marks the transition from collective exploration to individual concept development within our pavilion design project. After having a successful review with Jason and Rodney, we are now taking all of the information and wants from from the city to design our own concept pavilions. The move toward individual concept design represents an important [...]
Today, the studio made major progress. We’ve officially finished up most of the remaining shop work! The columns, truss, cross bracing, and rafters are all complete, and over half of the purlins have been sanded and stained. We even loaded up the first truckload of pieces to head to the site. All left to do [...]
Today we split into two groups. Half of the group stayed back in the shop. This group made solid progress, managing to finish the final truss, cut and prime all the rafters, and sand all the perlins to be ready for staining. Most of the pieces are ready to be brought out to Plymouth park [...]
Over the weekend, the class split into two separate crews. A handful of students finished building the wall at Old Towne Creek, while others began to work on cut-sheets for the pavilion being constructed at Plymouth Park. Those cut sheets were used today to create half-scaled portions of our pavilion's roof truss system. This involved [...]
The studio prioritized time outdoors this weekend... at the worksite! Working Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, our team spent many hours on site this weekend building the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall. On Sunday, some students went back to the site to finish the rafters and purlins while three of us went to the [...]
Today is an exciting day for Studio V! We've finished our work in the shop constructing all of the pieces for the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall, and today we start building on site. The columns were the last pieces for us to finish up, and so after we bring them out onto site we'll [...]
We’ve officially started transporting materials to our site! With both beams cut, assembled, stained, and finished, it took the whole studio to get them loaded onto the truck and hauled them out for placement. Over the past few weeks, we’ve gained valuable experience in the shop, and now we’re ready to dive into the next [...]
