DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
We finally finished preparing everything to take to the site at Stephen Washington Park. A group headed out early in the morning to drill the table we had prefabricated in the shop and luckily, everything fit and worked exactly as planned!!! We also had a bit of fun in the kids' park since it was [...]
The group has been making steady progress as we get close to wrapping up the semester. Yesterday we continued working on a variety of tasks. We just received structural updates from John Moore on the project with the Conservancy of the Sea Islands. With this information, we aim to apply the corrections to our construction [...]
The group is working together in shifts of 4-5 people to finish the table and benches for Stephen Washington Park. Yesterday, the morning shift made serious progress on bench 1, beveling and welding it together. The afternoon shift worked on grinding down the bench and priming the table that was finished being welded on Monday. [...]
Yesterday, the studio continued working on constructing the table and benches for Stephen Washington Park. We worked in two shifts, one in the morning and then an afternoon shift that quickly became the night shift after some hiccups. As the afternoon team rolled in, all the pieces were cut and mostly grinded, so a lot [...]
Studio right now looks a lot like this. People grinding, welding, cutting, cleaning, prepping. We are all fabricating last years community build groups project extension of the bench and table to meet the ADA requirements. Additionally others are working on finishing up there community 1:1 non-profit projects. WAY better than sitting in studio on a [...]
Our final book discussion of the semester has concluded at Goat. Sheep. Cow. Finishing up the book, Out of Architecture, we discussed potential changes to the education of architecture as well as changes to the profession. Some ideas we had about education were reducing the number of total years in architecture school, adding more technical [...]
Friday we took some time to determine where we were in the process of being able to produce construction documents. Our goal is to have them done in a timely manner so that we can get as much feedback from John Moore, our structural consultant, as possible. After discussion on larger scale elements within the model, we [...]
The group is still working on the Revit model for Conservancy of the Sea Islands. As many architecture students know nothing is ever really finished when we want things to be finished. A schedule/plan is a more looked to as a good idea and what we are striving towards... ALSO thanks to minecraft brain and [...]
Last Friday, the Gathering Ground team discussed a game plan and timeline for modeling the final design in Revit and producing the CD set drawings. Now that we all have access to a central Revit file, one team (Hamilton, Kaden, and Tyler) are working on modeling and laying out the column and deck grid. At [...]
We are hard at work taking the Gathering Ground Pavilion from design to construction documents in Revit. Now that we are all on the same model, we can be very exact with material sizes. This gives us the ability to push and pull the design in a way that allows for cost efficiency and the [...]
