DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Today's activities primarily included progress on Introduction to Craft projects as we look forward to installation onsite this Friday/Saturday. The shop has become a maze of lumber with four additional projects going on alongside the additional thermally modified wood we received to start putting the partition walls together. Onoe of the groups wrapped up their [...]
It's been busy in the shop. On Friday, we welded one of the overhead steel bays to completion. This was originally our mockup, which turned out well that it will now become one of the final bays! Throughout the process, we learned a lot about how to improve our workflow. We realized that the bay [...]
It was a busy day for us down in the shop. The day had come. No, not the day we break ground, but the day that we finally received our thermally modified pine for our wall panels. The pallet of materials was dropped off outside in the morning, and we brought it all inside to [...]
After selecting our paint colors based on how the gathering ground renderings looked, we purchased paint samples and tested each of them out on some scrap pieces of plywood. To get the proper color "experience", we went outside into the sunlight and compared each of the color samples with each other and some of [...]
Pictured: Team collaboration From crunching numbers in our budget to heading down to the woodshop for mockups, this has been a very busy week for us. As my classmates have shared, we are in the midst of our transition from the digital drawing world to the physical built world. While some of us have been [...]
Yesterday, the studio continued working on constructing the table and benches for Stephen Washington Park. We worked in two shifts, one in the morning and then an afternoon shift that quickly became the night shift after some hiccups. As the afternoon team rolled in, all the pieces were cut and mostly grinded, so a lot [...]
April Fools! Yesterday, we decided as a class to show up impersonating David's signature look, his glasses. As he was sketching on the whiteboard, we all quickly put on the glasses, and when he turned around, for some reason, he was more confused about why Malu was recording him than about why we were all [...]
Last Friday, the Gathering Ground team discussed a game plan and timeline for modeling the final design in Revit and producing the CD set drawings. Now that we all have access to a central Revit file, one team (Hamilton, Kaden, and Tyler) are working on modeling and laying out the column and deck grid. At [...]
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 we all prepare for the upcoming small group design review next Wednesday, this week of studio starts the final design push before we switch to documenting our projects. By this point, groups have set their site design strategies and have been refining what the structure looks like, aiming to be complete with major design [...]
