DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Every Monday night, Bar Mash at the Cigar Factory comes alive with music, giving us the perfect way to unwind after long days spent working on our community build project. Whether we’re cranking out shop drawings or preparing for construction on-site, we look forward to the evening—especially with the staff reserving us a parking spot [...]
Today I interviewed Catherine Cooke. Cat is a designer. Not to be confused with an interior designer or an interior decorator. I can say that because she designs entire spaces, inside and out. She might say differently but in my opinion she designs vibes. She's 28 years old and owns her own company that she [...]
This weekend I went to tour the Southern Living Idea Home for 2024 - located on Johns Island near a farm. The home is in a brand new neighborhood that is still under development and it definitely sets a precedent for how beautiful the neighborhood will be! Walking up to the home, my favorite part [...]
We are getting into the routine of classes and Field Studies this year is taught by David! The structure of the class is similar to the class he took in Genoa in '99 (before most of us in the class were born!). Yesterday was the first full class out sketching around the peninsula. A few [...]
Embarking on an internship is like stepping into a doorway leading to the professional world, unsure of what lies beyond. As part of a semester-long internship program, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the intricate world of architecture, a journey filled with learning, challenges, and moments of sheer inspiration.

With the end of the semester nearing and the heaps of homework growing larger and larger, I needed an afternoon break. The chosen location: Charlestown landing. The pirate ship gave me hope that we can sail through the rest of the semester 😉 I was just looking for a nice stroll on all trails and [...]

Only a short drive North from Charleston, is Georgetown, SC which was once the wealthiest county in the United States. Founded in 1729, Georgetown became home to many indigo and rice planters and [...]
This past weekend I went and visited the Birds of Prey Center. This was the building I picked for history & theory to do a video assignment on. The center is very cool for nature lovers or anyone who enjoys birds. They had two main sections - one for birds of prey and one for [...]
In our Community 1:1 class, a significant portion is dedicated to a book club experience. Over the semester, we'll delve into three compelling reads: "The Speed of Trust," "Out of Architecture," and "Raising the Bar or Let My People Go Surfing." Every Thursday, we gather for an engaging hour and a half, unraveling the pages [...]
Today we continue our in-house build with priming (and later painting) our doors and walls to the garden shed. While we finished out the last of the priming, Maddy selected a base color for us to paint. We made sure to cover every inch as the paint not only gives color but also provides some [...]
