DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
This past week has been a grind, as we all make a final push in all of our classes. History essays, mappings, internship papers and community 1:1 projects have been the priority of our nights, while building the pavilion at Plymouth Park has been our focus during the days. I was not personally on site [...]
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 [...]
After about seven weeks of planning, designing, and building, we’re finally close to finished on the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall and it has been a complete success so far all things considered. What started as a rough planning process working through the best way to fabricate the pieces and producing a material count, has [...]
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 [...]
We are well into the process of shop construction for the Old Towne Creek Donor Wall! This has been a great experience, learning our way around the shop in the cigar factory and the making and usage of shop drawings. I have enjoyed seeing how things worked and didn't work in the shop drawings that [...]
Today, our studio crew continued to work on assembling the wall addition at Old Towne Creek. We made sure to split ourselves up by task to ensure the work was done in the most efficient manner possible. We started the day by unloading wood planks from Professor Pastre’s pick-up truck and bringing them into the [...]
There's two things you should know about me. I love Jesus, and I love coffee. I'll always be down to go grab a cup of coffee, especially if it means we get to check out a new shop! I was born and raised in Charleston, so over the years I've had a chance to try [...]
For the past week or so in studio, I have been a part of the group that is in charge of creating shop drawing for a project that was started last semester at the Old Towne Creek Park. The shop drawings themselves have been a great learning experience for myself because I get to actually [...]
