DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Sharing the concepts with the community One of the greatest things about participating in the design of the garden pavilion at Corrine Jones Park is the ability to share with the future gardeners, kids and users of the park the design concepts we've created. A group of us attended an event this past Saturday, the [...]
With the final design review being only 6 days away, everybody in Studio V has been working hard at developing a single, strong scheme to present to the Charleston Park Conservancy now that we are working together as a studio. In order to better prepare for our next client meeting we have decided to break [...]

This semester, we are joining with [...]
Wednesday the 1st of November was a hectic day at school. We started off by discussing the Construction Documents which are a lot more comprehensive than last week. The redlines done within studio were completed and the set is now sent to John Moore, our structural engineer. He has been an amazing support for this project. [...]

We did the bottom portion of the bench and the bench composed by the two 2x6 supports, fourteen 2x4 seating slats with 1/2" spacing. The mock-up was very helpful, we had people sitting on [...]
