After having more than 8 iterations of the design, we seem to finally steer ourselves into a design idea which we all support and are looking forward to tackling in the upcoming Construction Drawing set. Collaboration and leadership have gone hand in hand this week. It's not been the easiest week but the result is better [...]

ORDINARY WORK DAY
Yesterday, we were continuing to test out our new idea from Monday. We all had met up after our lumber tour for ITC class and discussed what we had to finish for the 'final design' before we discuss this with Pastre. After the mini mock-up of the roof on Monday, we have realized that our storage space [...]
1 project, 2 project, 3 project, 4…
What to say about a well-rounded group of designs presented this past Friday. The goal of the progress review was to provide the Charleston Parks Conservancy with four interesting proposals where each targeted a different but equally important issue or opportunity. Our first group which was comprised of Katie, Tyler, and Lynn were tasked with [...]
Small Group Discussion
During the class meeting on Friday, we have discussed the common ideas between all the projects and the main theme for each four groups. All of us had talked about the things we liked or the things might work on each individual project. After the meeting, we have separated into small groups and talked about what [...]
Delayed, but Eager
Irma really through a curve-ball at us over the past week. With us evacuating the city and preparing for the worst, our individual design presentations have been pushed back a week to Wednesday, September 20th. Many of us fled to Clemson, some to Atlanta, and others to Athens, but we all at least had the [...]
Reflection and Carry on

The presentation was more focus on the site analysis and precedent study of different parks, we also have presented four possible site strategy plans. It was our first presentation of the semester and it was also my first time presenting [...]
More is more.
These past few days have been focused on collecting as much information as possible about our site, our client, and our scope. This has all been done with the conviction that the more informed we are, the more successful the resultant product will be. It is awesome to see people mesh and work together and [...]
Finding our Rhythm
The second day. We’re past the initial visit to the site, past the meeting with our client, and on to the most exciting and riveting portion of the entire design process: research. I say this with a twinge of sarcasm but also with truth as well. Research is the first step, it reveals opportunities, challenges, [...]
Visit at Magnolia Community Garden and Site visit at Medway Park at the beginning of 2017 Fall Semester
It was very excited to begin our first visit to the Design Built project we have done at Magnolia Community Garden and our new project site visit at Medway Park. We met with Harry Lesesne, Leslie Wade, and Jim Martin, who are the staff members from The Charleston Parks Conservancy. They gave us the tour and [...]
What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been
What more can be said about this semester that hasn't already been discussed? It has been 3 months of hard, time consuming work. I sit here a senior of the Clemson School of Architecture, now in my last semester, and I can't count where the minutes went. I imagine most of it was somewhere between [...]
