DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
We've made it! For the past 2 months we have been brain-storming, researching, and sketching to design an interactive landmark for the Conservancy of the Sea Islands as they prepare to establish their center for restoration advocacy across Kiawah, Seabrook, and John's Island. Today is our final presentation where we will meet with board members [...]
We are a day out from our presentation with the Conservancy of the Sea Islands where we will present the final design of the market pavilion! All are hard at work preparing for our meeting. Our team has been in the process of continually narrowing down on the concept, taking our designs from 13 individual [...]
Today we had our Community 1:1 book discussion at Kudu Cafe downtown. We talked about the last chapters of Raising the Bar and Let My People Go Surfing. A lot of the conversation ended up being about values, culture, and lifestyle, and what we would want if we ever started our own company or became [...]
This past Monday, we returned to our brainstorming and iterative process. After debriefing from Friday’s trip to the conservancy where we had discussion and received feedback, we took time to clearly identify both the strengths and weaknesses of each of the four concepts. We made a list of what was working and what wasn’t so [...]
Friday was a big day for the studio group as we traveled to the headquarters of the Conservancy. After our presentation with them Wednesday, we needed a bit more feedback in order to confidently move forward with the design. At the HQ, the plan was to bring the physical models and printed drawings to be [...]
On Thursday we all met up at City Lights Eastside for our weekly book club. We discussed the books let my people go surfing by Yvon Chouinard, and Raising the Bar by Gary Erickson. While we’re split about half and half between the two books, both offer valuable insight into the business world, and [...]
Hello, again! Somehow I am always reporting on the day of a big review. Nevertheless, we've made it. After designing our own concepts and presenting them to the Conservancy, we now present to them our small group designs. As I'm sure you've seen, the models have been going up and final touches on plans and [...]
I don't know why my blog post always seems to fall just before review, but it does! On Wednesday, we will be presenting our small group designs to the Kiawah Conservancy (now called the Conservancy of the Sea Islands). I've been working with Nate and Tyler on a design incorporating a trailhead, educational/social pavilion, and [...]
I’m working with Kaden and Kylee, and we’re putting the final touches on our design. Our project focuses on creating a boardwalk with sweet grass basket stands, all housed under a single continuous roof. The overall concept in our design has come together really well, but the roof has definitely been the most challenging part. [...]
As Shane shared in the last post, we are continuing to develop the moving wall concept and how the three stands can slide together to create a stage like gathering space while still functioning day to day for display and crafting. At the same time, we are beginning to think more intentionally about the site. [...]
