DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As we begin our final push for the design of the commercial kitchen, we want to take a step back, look everything over, and talk it all through. Combining the ideas and methods between two talented groups can be frustrating at times, however this current Studio V team is certainly embracing the new comradery in [...]
Today, we got yet another review under our belts. These reviews are always helpful, and it seems as though the information and feedback continues to increase as more people begin to wrap their minds around this project. Of course, all feedback is good feedback and we appreciate the ones that were able to make it [...]
Definitely a few more things stirring than mice here at the Clemson Architecture Center. Everyone is getting ready for the review tomorrow. The pressure is on with fifteen or so people scheduled to be at our review; as students we will be outnumbered two to one! Working in this second phase has been more enjoyable, [...]
Small groups are in session, and things are getting real. On the bright side, my group members and I all seem to have similar ideas about where we want to go with our design. Once it was clear that we would, in fact, be building atop a mobile home chassis, the momentum had us feeling [...]
After the first design review the challenge to join many designs into one design started. At the beginning, In our small group design we had to critique all of our individual program of the kitchen and to form a shared beneficial program. The kitchen design started to build from the walls up. While starting to [...]
We're just under halfway through the next wave of conceptual designs. This time we have been divided into two groups in order to push our concepts further. Coming together in this stage really helps us push each other to further our individual ideas and combine them. Our group is working towards a design that incorporates [...]
The group design phase is underway, and both groups are off to a great start. In our group, we are focused on making one single structure that extends along the chassis base. The challenge for us is to create depth in a long, linear volume. To achieve this, we are experimenting with ways of arranging [...]
This week's winter weather more or less shut this city down. Even so, myself and the others have continued to work diligently in preparing for a review. I think I can speak for everybody when I say we cannot wait to move forward so that we can keep the ball rolling. Tomorrow's review is an [...]
The snow day has pushed back our review from Wednesday until Friday. A few of us met with David yesterday to discuss our designs and what we should change before Friday. As much as everyone loves a snow day or two, we are on such a tight schedule that it will be hard to make [...]
At the beginning of last week, I thought, for sure, that I would be doing my individual commercial kitchen design based on "cargotechture" construction methods. However, after further research, I have come to the conclusion that the idea of stick-building a new structure onto the bare chassis of an old mobile home, would be the [...]
