DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Mondays and Thursdays are non-studio days so I thought I would show what a day outside of studio looks like. My day started working on a map for my assistantship that shows the units per acre density of the Charleston peninsula. It was a rainy and gloomy day so for sketching class Carter and I [...]
Across all architecture studios at the CDCC, undergraduate and graduate students have been paired up to research a variety of topics as we immerse ourselves back into the Lowcountry. Each topic pertains to key identifiers that make the city of Charleston so unique. From the Charleston Single to the evolution of the water's edge of [...]
As we come back from Fall Break we've hit some snags on our pavilion project: waiting for permits. Now even though we can't yet break ground that doesn't mean we twiddle our thumbs waiting for something to get done. On our first day back we had some crews put together some more sheets for permitting [...]
After our success with the bridge at the Ardmore site, our entire crew can now fully focus on preparing the final drawings to get started with construction on the Singleton Pavilion. At the beginning of studio we met to run through all of the tasks that needed completing before we break ground on site next [...]
We've got one week left of classes to go before finals and we're all hard at work together to finish up the various projects left. Most of Friday was spent in the woodshop, cutting wood to get ready for a trip back to Frierson or working on metal for the bridge at Ardmore. Kevin's butterfly [...]
T-minus 3 days till Spring break! With the break being right around the corner we are all in full grind, as we have started schematic design. This will lead into our final design. Currently, we have broken into 3 groups of 5. Each group worked with each other Monday and came back together at the [...]

A centrally located main pavilion 2.) A main pavilion located on the top corners of the site 3.) Multiple locations of small structures (Above [...]
This past Friday, our studio got the chance to take a history walk around Charleston with our History and Theory III professor, Michael Maher. Our crew started out at Waterfront Park where Professor Maher gave us some backstory on the expansion of the peninsula over the years. We talked about potential flood zones and how [...]
(above is an elevation view of what the mural will look like resting in-between the two column bays) With the PLI approaching quickly, the crew has been preparing the CDCC for the event. The studio has broken up into teams. The first one cleaning up around the center and woodshop. The second working towards making name [...]
Business as Unusual To our dismay, the physical presence of being in Studio V ended prematurely. Ahead of leaving for home for spring break I was optimistic that we would be back in the C.DCC within a matter of 2 weeks. Its been over a month since I've been back and I only packed one pair [...]
