DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
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 [...]

This week is an exciting one for the Community Build Studio! Today we are meeting with the structural engineer to work on the truss system in our design, and iron out some structural details.

The group interested in a rectangular shape ended [...]

On Friday, the Design + Build Studio met with Jason Kronsburg (pictured above), the Charleston Director of Parks, in order to show the City three different park pavilion designs that the studio had developed over the past couple weeks. Leading up to this meeting, the studio had been split up into three groups. Each "small [...]
